AnswerView source ↗
I thank the honourable member for
some notice of the question.
(1) There are 12 young people
participating in the program.
(2) The Young People with Exceptionally Complex Needs program
does not run a waitlist.
(3) This is due
to the changing circumstance for children in this cohort. Therefore, when a YPECN
placement becomes available, the Department of Communities places a call to
partner agencies to submit suitable referrals for allocation of the YPECN
placements, which may comprise those previously referred.
(4) Yes.
(5) Shelby Consulting undertook the
review.
(6) No.
(7) The Department of Communities is
currently reviewing and considering the recommendations.
