(2) When did ‘new initiative’ staffing for the autism program commence, as announced in Notes 1 for Output 1.3: Therapy Services and how many staff have now been recruited to date.
Mr Hargreaves: The answer to the member’s question is as follows:
(1) Therapy ACT had a staff vacancy rate of 15% in September 2004. An active recruitment program including advertising in various media, contacting universities, attending career days for undergraduate student and promoting student placements in the ACT has been undertaken. This has resulted in a decrease in staff vacancy rates to 6% in November 2004.
(2) The new initiative program for the Autism Assessment and Family Support service will commence in February 2005. A number of internal staff will run the program and recruitment is under way for backfilling their positions. A vacant senior psychology position in the team will be advertised in January.
