Fifth, we have 33,800 aged-care training places. This training is about bringing in new people who will be delivering the services, all of whom are going to be paid as a result of this. In addition to that, in the Indigenous community we have over $600 million that is being paid to support those who are working in rural and remote areas or to create the facilities where they will be working. In addition to all of those elements, we have the Aged Care Quality and Safety Commission, which will oversee over 4½ thousand audits. These will protect both the residents and the workers. All of these elements go towards ensuring that the conditions are better for both workers and residents.
