ACT Health—communications

Mrs Dunne asked the Minister for Health and Wellbeing, upon notice, on 21 September 2018:

(1) How many communications staff will be employed and what classifications will they hold in (a) ACT Health, (b) Canberra Hospital and Health Services, (c) the Minister’s office and (d) Minister Rattenbury’s office as from 1 October 2018.

(2) How many levels of management will be required to approve media releases and other communications collateral for (a) ACT Health and (b) Canberra Hospital and Health Services as from 1 October 2018.

(3) How many communications staff will be employed at (a) The Canberra Hospital, (b) University of Canberra Public Hospital and (c) Calvary public hospital as from 1 October 2018.

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

a. Media – 1 x SOGA, 1 x SOG C, 1 x ASO5

b. Strategic and internal communication – 2 x SOG B, 2 x SOG C

c. Online and design – 1 x SOG A, 3 x ASO6

(b) Canberra Health Services will have the following communications function:

a. Media – 1 x SOGB, 1 x SOGC, 1 x ASO6

b. Strategic and internal communication – 3 x SOGB, 3 x SOGC, 1 x ASO6, 2 x ASO5

(c) Communications staff supporting the ACT Executive are employed in the Government Communications Unit in the Chief Minister’s Office.

(d) Minister Rattenbury’s office is supported by two communications staff at 0.7 FTE.

It is expected this will streamline approval processes, noting that subject matter expertise from within other areas of the Directorate/Health Service will often be required.
