r LIM () (): When one retires, one hopes, in one's golden years, to live in comfort, and to be able to live peacefully, happily and safely. In my electorate of Tangney, we are so lucky to have numerous state-of-the-art, high-quality aged-care facilities.

Australian families need to have access to as much information as possible when choosing an aged-care provider. I commend my friend Minister Wells for her great work in delivering the government's plan to fix aged care. One part of this plan is providing Australians with transparency about the quality of aged-care homes by giving each facility a rating of between one and five stars.

There are only two aged-care homes with five-star ratings in the whole of WA, and one of them is in Tangney. That five-star facility is the Regents Garden Four Seasons in Booragoon, which has delivered above and beyond on its regulatory and healthcare requirements. I wanted to congratulate all the workers at Regents Garden Four Seasons in Booragoon on this wonderful achievement. You have done your residents and Tangney proud. Thank you.
