CHILD PROTECTION — CHILD SEXUAL ABUSE — THERAPY SERVICES

2122. Hon Alison Xamon to the Leader of the House representing the Minister for Child Protection; Women’s Interests; Prevention of Family and Domestic Violence; Community Services:

I refer to the provision of child sexual abuse therapy services in Western Australia, and I ask how much State Government funding was provided for the provision of these services for each financial year from 2009–10 to 2018–19?

Hon Sue Ellery replied:

From 2009–10 to 2016–17 this funding came under the former Department for Child Protection and Family Support.

Funding is specific to the Department of Communities provision. Services may also be provided by other State or Commonwealth agencies.
