The government has not taken any responsibility for the aged care sector, says Shadow Early Childhood Education Minister Amanda Rishworth.
It comes after Tuesday's Senate estimates during which Senator Richard Colbeck initially failed to provide the exact number of vaccinated aged care workers.
She said “after the tragic circumstances we saw last year in aged care facilities”, it was appalling for the minister not to have “had a line of sight” in this area.
She also said it was “concerning” only nine per cent of aged care workers had received the vaccine.
“When we looked at the vaccination rollout it really made the priority being … those people most vulnerable in our community and the fact that the government has really dropped the ball on this, I think is very concerning.
“As of yet, the government hasn’t taken responsibility, but also doesn’t seem to have any urgency around this.”
