Our track record in improving aged care since the royal commission is extensive. We've done a lot. We've invested $2.2 billion into homecare packages. We've released 14,275 new residential care packages. We've established the new Aged Care Quality and Safety Commission. We've implemented new consumer focused Aged Care Quality Standards. And we've put in place a new single Charter of Aged Care Rights.

We've implemented new provider requirements to minimise physical and chemical restraint, and there's further work to do on that. We've introduced a new mandatory national quality indicator program. And we've provided $21 million for research into 13 research projects that will focus on risk reduction, prevention and tracking of dementia, which is now Australia's second-leading cause of death.
