Because of the complexity of the systems build that's required for this to be undertaken, we wanted to make sure that it was a phased-implementation approach. That's why Services Australia has requested that the completion date for the necessary systems be July 2022. However, if this is able to be brought forward, in the context of all of the work that Services Australia is currently undertaking in response to the evolving COVID pandemic, we will of course do that. We want to make sure that these policy changes are in place and that Australian families can benefit from them.
