CORONAVIRUS — CARERS — MANDATORY VACCINATION

1079. Hon SOPHIA MOERMOND to the minister representing the Minister for Health:

There are many people who care for a loved one who receive a carer's pension.

(2) If not, could an exemption arrangement be agreed upon for such people?

Hon STEPHEN DAWSON replied:

I thank the honourable member for some notice of the question.

(1)–(2) Carer payments are a matter for the commonwealth government.
