Thank you, Senator Ruston. As you know, we are making a substantial investment, backed by legislation, to roll out further packages so that families can get the support that they need. People whose needs are urgent are being prioritised, and I am advised that they are being offered care much sooner. There are longer wait times, but we are, pleasingly, expecting to see some of those come down.
