We can go backwards and forwards about this question, but I am not in a position to provide numbers on behalf of the department or the agency in terms of the number of applications for eligibility to the scheme or the number of applications for changes to plans. I have been briefed, in response to your question, that there is anecdotal evidence that the volume of applications for changes to NDIS plans has increased substantially since late last year. If there's information that can properly be provided in estimates or in the normal course of events, I'm sure we'd be delighted to assist.
