CARERS RECOGNITION ACT — REVIEW

866. Hon DONNA FARAGHER to the parliamentary secretary representing the Minister for Community Services:

I refer to the minister's press statement titled, ''Improving recognition for thousands of WA carers'' released on 29 May 2018, which announced a review of the Carers Recognition Act 2004 and states that ''the review will be completed by the end of the year''.

(1) Yes.
