I speak in support of this motion. These assessment teams play a vital role in connecting everyday aged Australians with the health care and support they need. What is truly important is that the care package that the assessment team delivers is the right one, because it affects the health and happiness of people in need. These are real people with real needs which should not be ignored. So we support this, and we call on the government to consult with the state health ministers on the issue of ACAT privatisation as a matter of urgency.
