Thank you. We are supporting women's economic equality and helping to close the gender pay gap with investments to support highly feminised workforces, including fully funding a wage increase for aged-care workers; investing in the Australian Skills Guarantee, which includes national targets for women in apprenticeships; and investing in building and retaining the early childhood education workforce. An additional half a billion in further investment in the National Plan to End Violence against Women and Children will bring the total funding for investment in that national plan to a record of $2.3 billion. And there are a number of measures which address women's health priorities, including $26.4 million to support health and medical research focusing on women's health.
