Australia Apple Watch ECG

Hello!

I have recently got an Apple Watch series 5 (upgrade from 3) and was wondering why there was no ECG app. After a bit of research I found out that in Australia (where I live), the ECG isn't supported. Is there still the hardware for it or have they removed it from the watch completely.
