The opposition will not be supporting this motion. The review of the Oakden Older Persons Mental Health Service provided a detailed report on matters of concern relating to the care and treatment of patients. The significant failures that the report exposed are deeply concerning. However, they are also not isolated. It is critical that we take a national approach to urgently address the aged-care quality regulatory processes that are letting too many older Australians and their families down. Labor supports the review of the Commonwealth's aged-care quality regulatory processes announced on 1 May and believes this is the appropriate avenue to consider any additional documentation relating to Oakden.
