· FESA
o FESA does not allocate a specific amount of funding each year for recruitment in regional areas. Funding is allocated on an as needs basis and therefore should a regional area have a specific recruitment need appropriate funding will be allocated to that area.
· The Office of Road Safety
o The Office of Road Safety is part of the Department of Premier and Cabinet (DPC) for all administrative issues. As such, the office of Road Safety's response to this question will be included as part of the DPC response.
· WAPOL
o WA Police does not have a breakdown of recruiting costs for regional Western Australia. All recruitment expenditure for WA Police is met from the Professional Development portfolio (which includes the Police Academy), which meets the cost of advertising, recruiting and training until recruits are released as probationary constables.
