BUPA Aged Care Horror Story Latest: NZ Nurses Organisation's BUPA Members Rally
Jordan Kelly • 18 April 2025

You Know It's Bad When Even Mainstream Medical Journals Are Forced to Report On It

The New Zealand Doctor journal has published a news release issued by the New Zealand Nurses Organisation - the specifically BUPA-employed members of which took to the streets in early April in protest of planned cuts to an already chronically under-staffed, profiteering corporation that over-promises and grossly under-delivers.


Under the headline, "Exhausted Aged Care BUPA Workers Take A Stand Against Proposed Cuts', the journal reported that the New Zealand Nurses Organisation's (NZNO) BUPA members made a stand against planned restructuring - a move they say will harm the safety of residents.


The rally was part of a response to proposed nationwide changes by BUPA and other major aged care providers which will cut nurses’ and caregivers’ hours and increase workloads - putting the health and already often-compromised safety of elderly and frail residents at (further) risk.


Ya THINK?!  Check out the claims in this recent news podcast interview, starting at 12 minutes and 12 seconds in . . . and just as tellingly, many of the viewer comments beneath that video. In my opinion, a great many of these incidents warranted police attendance for, arguably and maybe even inarguably, the assault (including, for example, the restraint on the ground of one elderly man in a shower, by four workers) of vulnerable, elderly patients unable to defend themselves.


And those are only the proportionate minority of instances that have actually been seen or otherwise come to light.


After listening to these whistleblowing former staffers, and reading the numerous viewer comments, and (if you have the stomach for it, watching even a few of the many videos of industry exposes on YouTube), can you even begin to imagine what goes on that is never seen?
