Part 1 (a) Mirrabooka - 490 (b) Cannington - 424 (c) Armadale - 539 (d) Rockingham - 237 It is important to note that caseload statistics are not a precise measurement of actual workload. Furthermore, reporting methods have been changed recently to provide better management and a more accurate assessment of caseload levels. The answer to this question is based on this new methodology. "Cases" now better reflect the number of individual wards or children in care. eg. A family with two children who have been taken into care is counted as "three cases." Part 2 Answering this part of the question would require an allocation of resources which is not justifiable in view of other demands on the District offices.
