The Morrison government is investigating record amounts into the aged-care system. We've grown investment from $13.3 billion in 2012-13 to $21.4 billion in 2019-20, up to an estimated $25.4 billion in 2022-23. We recognise the need for robust financial transparency and access of senior Australians and their families to information to help them make informed choices and we have included some measures in this regard. The Royal Commission into Aged Care Quality and Safety is considering these and other matters and is due to report by 12 November 2020.

Question agreed to.
