Community Services

348. Hon Alison Xamon to the minister representing the Treasurer:

I refer to the 2012 Equal Remuneration Order (ERO), and the failure of the previous Government to factor annual ERO increases into the government funding indexation formula, and I ask:

(a)  will the Government allocate funds to compensate contracted community service providers for required ERO increases; and

(b)  if no to (a), why not?

Hon Stephen Dawson replied:

(a)  No.

679. Hon ALISON XAMON to the parliamentary secretary representing the Minister for Mental Health:

I refer to the response to question without notice 575 about the youth community assessment and treatment team.

(1)  What are the terms of the review?

(2)  When will the review be completed?

Hon ALANNA CLOHESY replied:

I thank the honourable member for some notice of the question.
