4BC has recieved reports thatsome aged care facilities in the southeast are without power amid ex-Tropical Cyclone Alfred.

Federal Aged Care Minister Anika Wells told Peter Fegan on 4BC's Special Coverage, "One of the things we did on coming to government was require that every home had a risk management plan in place."

"We've been in continuous contact with them, checking on their supplies and arranging fuel for those generators where it's required and I know that your callers have raised concerns about Tricare, Ashgrove and there's Wellington Park care."

"I've had my department check in on both of those places since your callers raised the alert," Mrs. Wells said.
