No. All facilities in Australia have been contacted through the course of the pandemic by the Aged Care Quality and Safety Commission in order to ensure their preparedness. The fourth phase was the provision of workforce support, and the fifth and sixth phases were the updating of the national plan on the basis of international experience and domestic experience.

All of those have occurred, including 12 million masks right across the country to aged-care facilities, of which almost 10 million have gone specifically to Victoria. That's included the mandating of masks in Victoria and has included the offer and the ability to provide services where they are required around the country.
