QuestionView source ↗
I refer to the Rottnest Island Management Plan 2009-2014, and in particular, initiative 25, ‘Support for Staff’. The Rottnest Society has a sense of, ‘staff not being sufficiently supported through the many changes that they have undergone over the last four or five years. Together with what appears to have been a relatively high staff turnover in some areas combined with ever higher expectations, and presumably, higher work load being placed on them it appears to us to have made their work lives very difficult for at least a number of them.’ Will the Minister take note of this concern and seek ways of listening to and supporting staff and volunteers through the years ahead?
