Mr MORRISON (Cook—Prime Minister and Minister for the Public Service) (14:24): I will ask the Minister for Health to add further to the question. The government continues to roll out the national vaccination plan, and I am pleased that when this COVID pandemic outbreak hit New South Wales, in my home city as well as that of the Leader of the Opposition, right across New South Wales, right across Sydney, more than 80 per cent of those in aged-care facilities had double-dose vaccinations. The comparison between what happened this year in Sydney and Victoria last year could not be more stark. The priority of the government was to ensure that the residents of aged-care facilities— The SPEAKER: The Prime Minister will resume his seat. The Leader of the Opposition on a point of order? Mr Albanese: Yes, Mr Speaker, on relevance. The question is about aged-care workers working across multiple sites—something that was identified as a problem that occurred in aged care more than a year ago— The SPEAKER: The Leader of the Opposition can resume his seat. Just before I call the Prime Minister, the question also, from my memory of it and my notes of it, did refer to residents— Mr Albanese interjecting— The SPEAKER: Hang on. It did refer to residents as well, so the Prime Minister has been able to refer to that, but the substance of the question was about workers—that's true—and the Prime Minister will need to bring himself to that matter. I think he's already indicated he might ask the Minister for Health. Mr MORRISON: Thank you, Mr Speaker. As of today, 56.1 per cent of aged-care workers have had their first dose of the vaccination. The declaration of a Commonwealth hotspot activates the supports that go to the state governments to ensure that they have the support and that the aged-care facilities have the support to prevent, wherever possible, those working across sites. They are the rules that have been put in place; they are the financial supports and other mechanisms that go in place when these Commonwealth hotspots are declared. But I make this very important point: the contrast between the outbreak that has occurred in Sydney this year and what occurred in Victoria last year, in terms of the rate of fatality that we saw in aged-care facilities, could not be more stark, and that is because the government ensured that we moved to put the vaccines into aged-care facilities and double-dosed those residents, with more than 80 per cent having double-dose vaccinations in those facilities. Last year, there was not a vaccination and we were able to constrain as much as possible in an unvaccinated population the impact of an extraordinary outbreak across Melbourne. In a way, it was far in advance of what we had seen in other countries that had been subject to those outbreaks when there were no vaccines. This year, with the vaccines in place, over 80 per cent of those in residential aged-care facilities are double-dose vaccinated and that has provided them with very important protection in the midst of this very significant outbreak. The Minister for Health may wish to add.
