Hon Sue Ellery questions the Minister for Community Services regarding the timeline for payments under the Redress WA scheme, specifically whether payments will be completed by 30 June 2011 as implied by a previous commitment to complete assessments by that date. The Minister clarifies that only assessments were intended to be completed by that date, and payments are dependent on the return of acceptance documentation.

REDRESS
WA - PAYMENTS
233. Hon SUE ELLERY to the
Minister for Community Services:
I note the minister's
commitment in the March 2011 Redress WA letter to ''complete all
application assessments by 30 June 2011''.
(1) Can the minister confirm that this means that all payments to
successful applicants will be completed by 30 June 2011?
(2) If payments, as opposed to assessments, will not be completed by
30 June, when will they be completed?

AnswerView source ↗

I thank the honourable member for some
notice of the question.
(1) No. It has always been the intention that assessments would be
completed by 30 June 2011, as noted in the newsletter.
(2) It is anticipated that the majority of payments will be made by
30 June 2011. However, all payments are dependent on the rate at which
acceptance documentation is returned to Redress WA.
