Foster care was referenced quite a bit in the opening statement. We had the Minister here last week, and it was top of her agenda, which was wonderful to see. We had a lot of contributions on it from the floor as well.

It is one of our main focuses. We talked about their pension rights. This week we saw the back-to-school allowance being extended to foster carers. Does Dr. Corbett think more measures like that will encourage more foster carers into the system because we need them?
