Yes, the Albanese Labor government is committed to working with First Nations people to deliver improvements and employment outcomes for First Nations people so Indigenous Australians can have access to the benefits and dignity of work no matter where they live to create a better future for themselves, their families and the next generation. We're boosting employment opportunities for First Nations Australians. More than 300 people have enrolled in the First Nations Health Worker Traineeship Program as part of our commitment to finding 500 First Nations health workers. Over 14,000 First Nations students have enrolled in fee-free TAFE courses. We have progressed work to expand the Indigenous rangers by up to 1,000 jobs as part of our plan to double the number of rangers by 2030. And we're getting on with delivering our Remote Jobs and Economic Development Program to help close the gap in employment outcomes and boost economic opportunities.
