Mrs Jones asked the Minister for Multicultural Affairs, upon notice, on 19 November 2015:

In relation to the One Canberra Reference Group Report of August 2015 “Action 7. Gender-specific swimming classes” which states that the ACT Government “supports the continuation of the current program and look to expand it for other vulnerable groups in the ACT.”, (a) how long has this program been operating, (b) what is the cost of this program per year, (c) what specific targets are set for this program, (d) how are outcomes measured, (e) how many classes are run each week, (f) where are these classes operated, (g) how many people have attended these classes since its inception and (h) what other groups in the ACT does the Government consider to be “vulnerable”.

Ms Berry: The answer to the member’s question is as follows:

The One Canberra Reference Group Report is a report to Government which was tabled in the Legislative Assembly on 27 October 2015.

Whilst the implementation of some of the recommended actions is already underway, or in fact in some cases have been completed, an analysis of the Report and its recommendations will be prepared as part of the Government’s official response to the Report.

The answers to the question that are not covered by the future Implementation Plan are provided at Attachment A.
