We will continue to work towards the best interests of Victorian aged-care residents in conjunction with the Victorian government, which we've done very cooperatively, particularly since we established the Victorian Aged Care Response Centre. As I said this morning, it has brought together the decision-making processes of the Victorian health system and the national aged-care system to make sure that resources are available for the appropriate care of residents in aged-care facilities that have COVID-19 outbreaks within them.
