I have been given the figure of $39 billion going into the aged-care system in 2024-25. The point I was making was that there is already significant investment going in, and providers are already having to make sure that their staff are trained. I would expect that reflecting the updated changes, which, in a sense are new, it is an existing responsibility of providers to do that. But in addition to that, we are providing a whole range of supporting resources and materials to assist providers with that change and they would, of course, be provided at no cost to providers.
