I made the point that we do not want to have a situation where applicants have to be assessed by a whole series of professionals and have assessments they do not need, but I will take on board what the Senator said about mental health issues. The multidisciplinary teams currently being piloted around the country include geriatricians, social workers and many other disciplines. They are already in place. I will get legal advise on the use of the term.
