Senator HANSON (Queensland) (16:12): I move: That the Senate— (a) notes that the current hourly rate of full-time pay for an adult aged care worker ranges from $20 (level 1) to $25 (level 7), which does little to recognise the dedication, compassion and caring they provide to our older, often vulnerable, Australians; (b) acknowledges that this low rate of remuneration in an industry which demands a high level of care as well as health management skills leads to the high turnover of staffing in aged care facilities; and (c) calls on the Federal Government to immediately act to increase pay rates in the aged care sector to better reflect the important work undertaken.
