Mr. Stephen Mulvany:

We are trying to increase the number of homecare workers. We are having some success in certain parts of the country, recruiting internally and locally rather than nationally. The response has been good in local communities. The international piece is being done at departmental level, so we are not directly involved in that at present. The Department is leading out on that across employment, health and so on in trying to get numbers available.

We can certainly get an update for the Senator through the Department but it is not something-----
