I think the first important thing to do is to have the bill passed, because then that would allow more accurate public information and targeted information about the changes, which is all being prepared but obviously can't be finalised until this bill passes. This is that has been talked about over the last couple of years. I imagine there's a level of awareness for people using the aged-care system that there are changes afoot, but I agree that there needs to be much more extensive information provided once the bill passes. So I think that's part of the job today—to make sure that we are in a position to finalise that information both for providers and for individuals who might use the service.
