I am certainly familiar with the benefits that telehealth can provide for health and aged care in regional settings. Senator Ruston, you may have seen that we actually provided significant new funding to extend telehealth services in health in general. We are giving consideration to what more can be done for telehealth specifically for older Australians. But I certainly wouldn't rule out doing that kind of thing.
