The Queensland Nurses Union says many Gympie nurses, in the state’s south, are unsure about their future after a long-running aged care facility in the region announced its closure. The Winston House Aged Care facility is home to 48 residents and more than 50 medical staff. The organisation said it needed to close because of the building’s aging structure and higher levels of care needed for residents. Provider Blue Care said it would try to redeploy nurses to a nearby facility but the union’s Bernadette O’Connor said not every job was guaranteed.
