The Queensland government has vowed to name and shame private aged-care homes that refuse to reveal how many nurses are caring for their residents.

The Labor government will pass new laws requiring Queensland's 16 state-owned aged-care homes to provide a minimum standard of nursing care.

That will be set at the current average of 3.65 hours of nursing, per resident, per day - the equivalent of seven patients per nurse across a 24-hour shift.

State-owned homes will also be forced to publish their nurse-to-resident ratios every quarter, from the end of this year.
