We have worked closely with the aged-care sector as we've learnt more about the virus, and we've continued to provide advice to the sector and the resources that they've required, without limit, as the pandemic has progressed. And we will continue to do that. The AHPPC continues to provide advice. The CDNA continues to provide advice. We have acted on the advice of the health professionals all the way through this pandemic and allocated the resources that go with it. We've allocated over $1 billion to the aged-care sector to support them and assist them to deal with the COVID-19 pandemic, which is racking the world.
