Minister Colbeck has supported and always will support the important work of the aged-care sector. Since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Australian government has provided more than $2.5 billion to support senior Australians in aged care. More than $1.5 billion of this investment has been made available to support the aged-care workforce. The Australian government is determined to ensure a safe environment exists in aged-care facilities and is continuing to work with aged-care providers and state and territory public health authorities to support arrangements to manage infection control and COVID-19 outbreaks in aged care.
