Aged Care and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2025, Aged Care (Accommodation Payment Security) Levy Amendment Bill 2025

Senator RUSTON (South Australia—Deputy Leader of the Opposition in the Senate) (19:14): With the greatest amount of intention that the government may well have, when will the government provide the certainty the sector needs in order for the legal requirements of the transition to take place? When is that going to happen? On the basis of the answers that you've been given, is the government prepared to commit to the chamber that every requirement of the government or the department will be finalised and in place to provide sufficient, adequate and reasonable time for the sector to be able to do what it needs to do, after you've done what you need to do, in order for this act to come into effect on 1 November 2025?
