Emergency services—alleged bullying

Mr Corbell (in reply to a supplementary question by Ms Lawder on Tuesday, 6 May 2014): I can confirm that as at 4 June 2014 there were no other reports of bullying among staff being investigated in ACT Fire and Rescue Service.

ACT Fire and Rescue Service— alleged bullying

Mr Corbell (in reply to a supplementary question by Mr Smyth on Tuesday, 6 May 2014): Specific details of the incidents investigated are of a private and confidential nature relating to individual employees.

The review into Human Resource matters within ACT Fire and Rescue was not intended to be an investigation into any particular individual rather an assessment of process and practice and confirmation that responses were sufficient and to provide recommendations on where matters can be improved.

Disability services—transition schedule

Ms Burch (in reply to a question and a supplementary question by Mr Wall on Wednesday, 6 August 2014): In response to the Member's questions, I can inform the Assembly that nine people scheduled to phase in the first quarter, have an agreed plan.

For privacy reasons, I will not go into any detail on specific cases, as there are very small numbers, and individuals would be easily identified. Therapy ACT will continue to support their clients through the NDIA planning process. Families have commenced their planning conversations with the NDIA for their children, but have not yet developed an approved plan. Therapy ACT has not been provided with names/numbers of those who have commenced planning.

The NDIA Quarterly Reports to the Disability Reform Council will provide the relevant evidence to measure progress of the ACT NDIS trial. I plan to report then after following the release of each NDIA Quarterly Report.
