I will see if we can get that information from government. I do have a figure for across the NDIS and aged care. There have been 130,000 students take up the training in individual care, but that would not specifically be aged care; it would be across the NDIS and aged care. The other thing that has assisted with employment in aged care has been the increase in aged-care wages which have, as I understand from my discussions with providers, significantly reduced separation rates and attracted new staff to the sector.
