At this point in time, based on the data that I have, 18.3 per cent of home-care workers have received a vaccine. Of that 18 per cent, 4.3 per cent have had a second dose. These are very early numbers because those numbers are being reported to us at this point in time voluntarily by home-care providers. That process will be made compulsory in coming weeks. We continue to provide access to all of those who are providing support to senior Australians through the various processes that I mentioned in my answer to the previous question.
