The announcement that Minister Hunt and I made today was an extension of existing programs to provide continued support to the aged-care sector through the COVID-19 outbreak. The first round, the uplift for aged-care providers, was announced back in May. The retention bonus for workforce was announced in March. The program to apply for one worker, one site was announced in conjunction with the Victorian government last month. So the measures that we announced today were actually an extension, a continuation, of our plan to help the aged-care sector manage through the COVID-19 outbreak.
