Bud Tingwell shares his thoughts on aged care in Australia

If there comes a time that Charles 'Bud' Tingwell might need to consider aged care, people within the industry will know exactly what he wants.

One of Australia’s best loved actors, Bud will be a key speaker at The Aged Care Standards and Accreditation Agency Ltd’s upcoming Better Practice event to be held in Melbourne on the 25th and 26th August.

82-year-old Bud will enlighten the audience with his views on what he’d like to see in aged care. Bud has first-hand experience as a carer, nursing his late wife of 45 years, Audrey. With this insight, Bud’s presentation promises to be thought-provoking.

Bud has had a long and distinguished career appearing in the television series Emergency Ward 10, The Sullivans, Flying Doctors and Breaker Morant. More recently he’s appeared in The Castle, Wog Boy, Innocence and The Carer – a play about a man who cares for his elderly wife who has Alzheimer’s.

The Better Practice events promote the positive aspects of the residential aged care industry in Australia, to share ideas for improvement among staff of aged care facilities and celebrate the excellent work of so many staff within the industry.
