Labor remains concerned about the ongoing sustainability of the Aged Care Funding Instrument. There is tremendous instability and uncertainty around aged care funding under the Turnbull Liberal government, just as there is with everything under this government. This instability means nobody can have confidence that older Australians will have access to the care they need. Labor has consistently supported the sector in its call for an immediate independent review and reform of the Aged Care Funding Instrument. This remains our commitment as the only path to a sustainable, transparent and predictable residential aged care funding model. We call on those concerned to show they are serious about the care of older Australians and back Labor's move for a full independent review into aged care funding that can deliver a sustainable future funding model.

Question negatived.
