Those sitting on the opposite side might think that this is not something of note. Our announcement on 31 January of almost $50 million towards the Business Improvement Fund demonstrates our desire to ensure that aged-care providers across Australia are supported when they get into difficulty. We already have in place a business assessment service. The new Business Improvement Fund provides support to aged-care providers from all over Australia who qualify. It helps them implement strategies to improve their delivery of aged care to senior Australians. This government remains determined to ensure that the care provided to senior Australians across the nation is the best it possibly can be.
