I thank Senator Reynolds very much for her question. I am very proud that the Department of Human Services is participating in this groundbreaking initiative. We are providing traineeships for people with autism spectrum disorder working in our ICT hub in Adelaide. We are partnering with Hewlett Packard Australia and with a Danish organisation called Specialisterne or Specialist People Foundation to provide those 11 traineeships in our department's ICT testing teams.
