Thanks, Senator Pocock. You raise a very good point. I have been to an aged-care facility in remote Northern Territory and saw firsthand the particular issues and challenges that arise in providing aged care in those sorts of settings. There are existing training programs in place, but I'm happy to get the department to come back to your office with some more information about what more we can do. But you're dead right. It's a really important thing to have our First Nations people trained to deliver these sorts of services in community.
