I know Senator Pocock has a couple of questions, so in the interest of time, could you also take on notice and provide me with this advice. Will any funding allocated under the workforce training—or whatever element you're going to come back to me with—go to train and upskill enrolled nurses? Is the money ongoing funding or only one-off funding for upskilling? Are providers expected to provide their own ongoing funding in terms of this development? I'm very interested to understand what provisions have been put in place to ensure not just the attraction of additional workers into the sector but that existing workers in the sector are given the opportunity to upskill so they can try and assist in meeting the expectations of this bill.
