I partially accept that, but this is one of the most important implications of this legislation: can it actually be implemented? Clearly, this is going to be very high risk, not only for the department of health and Services Australia to deliver this but also for all of the providers that now have to do system changes. Minister, in relation to support for service providers, you said, as I understand it, that there were going to be more requirements—or was it the other way round? For at-home support providers, do they have more or fewer requirements than the residential care? How will both be supported? You said $10,000. How do they apply for that? When can they apply for it? Also, what guidance will they receive, and when will they receive guidance in terms of the system changes they need to make to be compatible with the changes your departments are making?
