This information is currently being collated as part of the Department's national reporting obligations relating to the Report on Government Services 2015 (utilising 2013-14 data), which will be published by the Australian Government Productivity Commission in January 2015.
It is anticipated that the average expenditure per child for non-residential placements in Western Australia will be similar to the 2012-13 result of $32,399.
