I move:

That this bill be now read a second time.

The Health and Other Services (Compensation) Care Charges Amendment (Norfolk Island) Bill 2015 supports the extension of the Health and Other Services (Compensation) Act 1995 to Norfolk Island.

The bill ensures that Medicare benefits, nursing home benefits or residential care subsidies are recoverable from persons on Norfolk Island who receive compensation or damages through a judgement or settlement.

I commend the bill to the House.

Debate adjourned.
