An 85-year-old woman has been indecently assaulted by a man who allegedly broke into her retirement home late at night in the New South Wales central west. The elderly resident was asleep in her Blayney unit when she was woken by someone touching her before midnight on Monday, police say. She said she saw a man “committing an act of indecency” and challenged him, before he left the room. The woman escorted him out of the unit but caught him looking in her bedroom window and called police. A 41-year-old man was later arrested in Cowra and charged with aggravated break and enter and commit a serious indictable offence, and sexually touching another person without consent. He was also charged with theft, drug and firearm offences relating to a break-in at a commercial property in Blayney earlier that night.

The Australian College of Nursing’s Deborah Parker says a falling number of registered nurses is affecting the skill mix of the workforce attending to people requiring care. Ms Parker says the number of unregulated personal care workers is rising, making it harder to treat people requiring complex care. “The unregulated worker, with a very short certificate training with approximately 120 hours in the facility is not prepared and does not have the level of assessment and planning skills required to meet the needs of the current aged care clients,” Ms Parker says.
