I'm certainly aware that part of the workforce plan here is to upskill existing workers and increase the participation of existing workers. I'm sure the shadow minister would be aware that there is a large number of aged-care workers who either work part time or casually, and there is certainly an opportunity there to increase the working hours for those who wish to do so. I may have to take on notice the details as to the cost.
