I thank the honourable member for some notice of the
question.
(1) Students in kindergarten to year 12 are eligible for
support from engagement centres.
(2) Although
students in kindergarten to year 12 will be able to access services and support
at the engagement centres, the majority of eligible students will be supported
by engagement centre staff through an outreach model within their local school.
The small number of students who require support at an engagement centre will
undergo a risk assessment that will determine if the location is appropriate to
their needs and if an alternative location or centre is required.
