There have been additional packages in 2024-25, and then, through the reforms in the Aged Care Act and the Support at Home program, we are building a more sustainable aged-care system, going forward, including more options for care through Support at Home, including co-contributions. There has been no restriction. There has been additional investment. Then, in 2025-26, when Support at Home would commence—as you know, there are different levels of packages that will come through there, with different levels of care and more choice and control for participants, including the use of co-contributions. It's around the whole purpose of this bill, essentially.
