This bill establishes a clear pathway to enable the sector to transition smoothly from the Aged Care Act 1997 to the new Aged Care Act 2024. We recognise that the transition process is of particular concern for aged-care providers, workers, older people and their families. That is why we've established the transition taskforce to work with the sector in preparation for 1 July so that we can all make the necessary changes to deliver better aged care. I thank the members for their contributions to the debate on this bill.

Question agreed to.
