AnswerView source ↗
I thank the honourable member for some notice of the question. I will respond as the Minister for Community Services. (1) Redress WA is currently finalising a number of agreements with service providers to facilitate group counselling. It is anticipated that they will be in place within a few weeks. Redress WA has an agreement in place with ConnectGroups to act as a point of contact and information dissemination to assist in this area. Redress WA has funded a link on the ConnectGroups website to also assist in information dissemination. (2) As above, it is anticipated that several providers will be appointed within a few weeks to facilitate such support groups. (3) Not applicable. (4) Several of the service providers mentioned above are located in regional areas and Redress is progressing regional availability in the time lines mentioned above. Today I was in touch with the Department for Communities and said that I want those contracts in place as soon as possible. While we are talking about Redress WA, the member might be interested to know that last week I changed the guidelines for Redress WA so that people who had applied for a payment and had not been assessed but had died in that period have had paid to their deceased estate a sum of $5 000. The payment has been put into the bank accounts of 21 people. This is an acknowledgement of those people who had applied but had died suddenly due to illness without their application going on to further assessment.
