AnswerView source ↗
I thank the member for some notice of this question. (1) Yes. (2) (a) No. The document tabled on 19 October was a draft document for discussion and, although it referred to appendix 1, that appendix did not exist and was ultimately not developed. (b) No. The matrix scoring system relates to the BiPers system. The tool is owned under licence by Austral Training College. (c) Yes. The classification tool job evaluation questionnaire and accompanying notes were modified by the Austral Training College in conjunction with the department to more appropriately assess senior nursing positions. My answer refers to an attachment but there is no attachment. I will endeavour to obtain it before question time finishes today. (3) No.
