The government acknowledges and thanks our healthcare professionals for their contribution to keeping Australians safe. The highest priority of the government is to secure and supply PPE to keep our healthcare workers safe. To date, we've secured more than half a billion masks into the National Medical Stockpile and dispatched more than 46 million masks into hospitals, aged-care facilities, GPs, dentists, pharmacies, Aboriginal community controlled health organisations and NDIS registered providers and self-managed participants. As such, the government is pleased to support this motion and is delivering on calls made by the senator.
