I'd like to thank the Social Services and Community Committee for its thoughtful consideration of this bill. The committee recommended a number of changes that have improved the clarity of the bill to ensure that it can be implemented in line with the policy intent. I also want to thank members of the public who helped the committee to consider the bill through written and oral submissions. Many of those submitters were individual caregivers or organisations advocating on behalf of caregivers. I know that the committee will have appreciated hearing the lived experiences and expertise shared by those who took the time to make their submissions.
