Hundreds of millions of dollars are being poured into boosting hospital intensive care as the country loosens restrictions and braces for life with Covid-19.
About $100 million will be used to increased capacity by doing things like converting unused wards.
More than $500 million will be for ongoing costs such as staffing.
The number of Covid-19 patients in ICU so far has been lower than expected but doctors and nurses are worried there are not enough beds or staff.
Intensive care doctor and Intensive Care Society spokesperson Andrew Stapleton spoke to Corin Dann.
