Broadly speaking, Anglicare Australia encourages the Committee to support the introduction of the Bill. We note that there are several aspects of the Bill which are of concern, and we encourage the Committee to give these areas greater consideration. Anglicare Australia’s submission highlights issues including whistleblower protections, timely regulatory action, the need for equitable funding and pricing, and the need to provide support as the sector transitions. Our recommendations centre on ensuring a new Act supports the aged care sector in building a sustainable and viable system which places the older person and their rights at its core.
