My question is to the Minister representing the Minister for Health and Ageing, Senator McAllister. As at 31 March 2025, 87,597 older Australians were waiting for the home care they'd been assessed as needing. Experts have suggested that figure now has risen to over 100,000, but on Friday the department refused to release the most recent data despite having been repeatedly asked for it. Minister, how many Australians have been assessed as needing home-care packages and are currently waiting for a home-care package on the national priority list?
