I am advised:
(a)-(d) The Your Voice in Health survey was introduced by the Minister for Health in 2019 to provide a platform for employees to share their opinions about their workplace to ensure the WA health system is an employer of choice.
A WA Health system employee survey did not exist under the previous Government.
Comprehensive survey results for each annual survey, including a 111 page report for 2021, is publically available on the WA Health website, including aggregate results by Health Service Provider, including WA Country Health Service (WACHS).
Results by individual site level are not made publically available. WACHS contains many small sites where due to the small sample size data may inadvertently identify participants who have voluntarily participated in good faith in the process with assurances of their anonymity.
