I thank the member for Greenway for her question. At this point in time, the latest advice that I have is that there are approximately 275,357 staff across aged-care services and that 257,143 vaccinations have been administered across those 275,000 staff. That includes 156,340, or 56.8 per cent of first doses, amongst those staff and 100,803, or 36.6 per cent second doses.

On the advice of, and from discussions that I've had with, Lieutenant General Frewen and his team, every facility in Australia is required to have, and does have, a plan for vaccination. The range of options which have been developed with those facilities includes the following. Firstly, there is self-vaccination, where facilities are conducting that program as a form of inreach.
