I would be happy to receive the details of the facility, because I have confirmed on multiple occasions with my department that all Commonwealth facilities have been completed. We did have drawn to our attention one facility which was misidentified as a Commonwealth facility which in fact is under the responsibility of the Victorian government. I don't know if that is the facility, as the member has not named it, but the department has reaffirmed, in advice to Senate estimates today, that all Commonwealth facilities have been completed, including the Jewish Care house which was raised by the member for Macnamara last week. That was completed as we said it would be. I am aware that one case was raised on a television program last night. We have spoken with the granddaughter, I believe, of the resident in question, and it has been confirmed that it is not a Commonwealth facility. Our advice is express, clear and absolute from the department—that all Commonwealth residential aged-care facilities in Victoria have had a first dose.
