As part of this investment, there is also $5 million in funding directed to help the aged-care providers who meet the needs of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. There are nine organisations who will deliver projects that give support to these members of the community. An example includes a significant capital works project for one particular provider which supports Indigenous Australians. In this case, the organisation is receiving $2 million to assist with its staff accommodation. I should point out that this funding is in addition to the $33.7 million provided in 2014-15 under the National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Flexible Aged Care Program. (Time expired)
