Questions without Notice
Aged Care: Nursing Homes

My question is addressed to the Minister for Ageing. I refer the minister to media reports today that reveal that a coalition of nursing home operators representing 95 per cent of the industry has told the Prime Minister that the existing system cannot meet the burden of our ageing population. After two years of excuses and inaction, when can the families of Australians in need of aged care expect the government to stop talking and start acting on Australia’s aged-care crisis?
