Aged Care Legislation Amendment Bill 2024

The majority voted against an amendment to the usual second reading motion, which is "that the bill be read a second time" (parliamentary jargon for agreeing with the main idea of the bill). The amendment was introduced by Farrer MP Sussan Ley (Liberal).

Amendment text

That all words after “That” be omitted with a view to substituting the following words:

“the House notes the Government must ensure that:

(1) the reporting burden imposed on providers does not outweigh the necessary information being collected; and

(2) all aged care providers are focused on delivering high quality care for our older Australians”
