I'm happy to take further information on that. My expectation and the leadership that's been shown by the Minister for Aged Care will be that these reforms to aged care would be scrutinised and evaluated over time, but that they are relatively new reforms.

I would again say that the extra investment that you cite going into aged care is a very small part of the extra investment. In terms of wages, it was significantly more than that in order to retain and attract people into the roles that you speak about, including for registered nurses. So, yes, there is more to do, but we have invested significantly in the workforce and in reforms and we're continuing to discuss further opportunities for aged-care reform during this term of parliament.
