In relation to that, what communication, consultation and certainty have you given providers to date regarding how the exemption process will work? Or are you just going to leave them to wait until they see the exposure draft, or have you been talking to them? If you put out an exposure draft, we're not going to see the delegated legislation until April next year—that's what I was advised when I asked about this in committee. Where does that leave providers who will be frantically trying to seek an exemption and provide the necessary detail to you? I'd like to understand what communication and consultation have you provided to date to give certainty and security to these very important workers in our community.
