The Department of children is actively standing up arrival centres for use as these new centres. It will identify sufficient capacity of centres for designation and locations will be confirmed as they become available. Departmental officials are working on it as we speak. They are looking at designated centres for new arrivals and when those new arrivals come there, they will get the reduced payment. That is the plan.
