GRANDCARERS —
PERTH ZOO PASSES
1409. Hon NICK GOIRAN to the Leader of the House representing
the Minister for Child Protection:
I
refer to the minister's media statement, ''Grandcarers go wild
for National Grandparents Day'', of 28 October 2019, from which
it is clear that only 400 of the more than 4 000 grandcarers in the Perth
metropolitan area will be able to access a free pass to Perth Zoo.
(1) What eligibility criteria will
enable a grandcarer to access one of the passes?
(2) Who will determine whether a grandcarer
meets the criteria?
(3) If more than 400 grandcarers
wish to access one of the passes, will this be facilitated?
(4) What is the cost of this
initiative?

I thank the honourable member for
some notice of the question.
(1) Access was
open to all grandcarers. Wanslea Family Services Inc defines a grandcarer as a grandparent
with full-time responsibility for raising their grandchildren.
(2) There was no formal assessment
of eligibility.
(3) Yes.
(4) The cost will be $19 440.
