But that is what some service providers demand. We need to be included in the Federal Equal Opportunity Act, so all providers are required not to discriminate in their service provision that some of us many need to access.

The denial of access to health care, such as a Nursing Home, is a gross violation of our fundamental human rights. There are stories of good people working in aged care services, but there is also that of the bad and the entrenched legal discrimination.

It is hard enough getting older sometimes, without having to deal with discrimination on top of that.
