First of all, I want to reiterate the fact that we have responded in this pandemic by providing support to families, providing support to childcare businesses and providing support to childcare workers, and I will continue to reiterate that. At the moment on average a guaranteed 55 per cent of fees in the Sydney area are for children who aren't attending along with the regular fees for children who are attending is, at this stage, an estimate of the situation. However, as I said before, we will continue to monitor the situation to make sure that we are alive to the very important service that is provided by childcare providers during this pandemic.
