Among the budget allocations for carers was $293.6 million for 19,000 carers of children with profound disability, and the extension of the $500 utility allowance to 130,000 carers for the first time. The 19,000 people I have just referred to are an increase from the 3,000 people who currently qualify for that payment. I am particularly pleased to see that carers of children with profound disability will now have more access to that particular payment when it comes on stream.
