That includes over $7 billion for home care to provide greater options for people who are staying at home and over $8 billion all up for residential aged care, and that goes both to the quality of care and to the sustainability of that care. In particular, that includes the additional funds for nursing care minutes—200 minutes. That includes the additional funds for ensuring that we are able to have visits from general practitioners. That includes the funds to ensure that there is greater support for the training of the staff to encourage and to thank them. And there is also the $600 million now through four retention bonus payments to support those staff and to encourage them back in. All of these things are coming together, and, although it's been difficult, what we do see is one of the lowest rates of loss of life in the world in aged care, and we thank our staff and honour them for that.
