QUESTIONS WITHOUT NOTICE

Ms SHARKIE (Mayo) (14:43): My question is for the Minister for Aged Care and Seniors. Every Mayo home-care provider that I've researched is lifting its fees on Saturday, by 40 per cent to 100 per cent. One provider is charging non-grandfathered self-funded retirees and part-pensioners a co-payment of up to $132 per hour for meal preparation and up to $101 per hour for showering on a Saturday.

Most older Australians can't afford this. Will you please look at price capping and bringing it forward?
