The Morrison government is committed to ending any abuse of Australian seniors in all its forms, including in aged care. That's why we developed the National Plan to Respond to the Abuse of Older Australians (Elder Abuse) 2019-2023 in consultation with the states and territories. It's also why one of the Prime Minister's first acts was to call the Royal Commission into Aged Care Quality and Safety. We've led action to protect senior Australians in aged-care settings, including by committing to the Serious Incident Response Scheme.
Question agreed to.
