(2) All staff who commence at Bimberi undertake a seven-week induction program. The Public Advocate and Children and Young People Commissioner provides a session during the induction program on the role of the Human Rights Commission, specifically tailored to Bimberi, including in relation to the Human Rights Act 2004. All staff must complete the induction program to be found suitable for appointment. In the last 12 months 18 new staff members have completed this induction process.

Additionally, 65 of the current Bimberi staff have completed the Human Rights Act Introduction: e-learning module. This module provides information on the history of Human Rights in Australia, an overview of the Human Rights Act, and the way in which rights may be balanced against other rights.

a) 1 staff member is employed under an Executive Contract;

- 54 staff are permanent full time;

- 1 staff member is permanent part time;

- 3 staff are on full time temporary contracts;

- 2 x Cooks; and

- 3 x Administration staff.

c) After careful consideration of the question, and advice provided by my Directorate, I have determined that the information sought is not in an easily retrievable form and may identify individual staff, and that to collect and assemble the information sought solely for the purpose of answering the question would be a major task, requiring a considerable diversion of resources. In this instance, I do not believe that it would be appropriate to divert resources from the provision of direct services to clients for the purposes of answering the Member's question.

d) 56 permanent and executive contract staff have completed the human rights e-learning and 9 casual staff have completed the human rights e-learning.

(4) All staff currently available for shifts at Bimberi have completed the Human Rights Act Introduction: e-learning module, with the remaining staff to complete the training within a week of their next shift within the workplace.
