Health—mental health staff
(Question No 609)

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

How many FTE, PTE and head count of staff are at each pay grade within the Mental Health Comorbidity Clinician in the categories of (a) mental health nurse, (b) RN’s, (c) enrolled nurse, (d) administrative staff, (e) nurse in charge, (f) staff doctor, (g) doctor, (h) psychiatrist, (i) social worker and (j) any other staff within the Mental Health Comorbidity Clinician.

Mr Corbell: The answer to the member’s question is as follows:

The data in the table below is extracted from the ACT Health Workforce Profile for the pay period ending 17 June 2015, the last pay period of 2014-15.

The headcount (HC) and full time equivalent (FTE) data is grouped by staff group, classification and employment category for each pay grade.

There is no classification of “mental health nurse”; the nursing classifications are either Registered Nurses or Enrolled Nurses.

From December 2013, the following teams staffing salaries were combined into one cost centre, as the teams consist of very small numbers:

Mental Health Consultation Liaison at Calvary Hospital;

Mental Health Consultation Liaison at the Canberra Hospital;

Neuropsychology;

the Mental Health Comorbidity Clinician; and

the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Mental Health Service

The below data is a combination of all of those teams and is unable to be broken down into individual teams.
