Minister, aged care is a Commonwealth program. Providers receive taxpayer funds and it seems to me there is a social contract that comes with that. It's the responsibility of each provider to take their share of Australians who don't have the means, to give them a dignified safe experience in the places they own and manage. Does the government believe every residential aged-care facility should cater for supported residents?
