Thank you, Senator Ruston. Both the Royal Commission into Aged Care Quality and Safety and Dementia Australia recommend that all aged-care workers should undertake ongoing training in dementia care. I understand the requirement for dementia training is part of the rules, but those rules are still in consultation. Can you guarantee in this bill that ongoing dementia training will be required for all aged-care workers in residential facilities and for all those who provide at-home support?
