I am delighted to sum up this bill on behalf of the Minister for Social Services. These bills deliver on the government's priority to ensure minimal disruption to the employment of supported employees. The payment scheme established by the bills demonstrates our ongoing commitment to improving outcomes for supported employees, their families and carers. I would like to note the government's appreciation for the opposition's support of this legislation. I would like to recognise the kind remarks by speakers on both sides of the House and recognise too every member of this place and their support for those who work in supported enterprises and those with disabilities entering, leaving or participating in the workplace. These important bills will provide Australian disability enterprises and the 20,000 workers they support with greater certainty to operate into the future. I thank the House.
