COMMUNITIES
— CASE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
376. Hon NICK GOIRAN to the Leader of the House representing
the Minister for Child Protection:
I refer to the minister's
answer to question without notice 258, which revealed that in response to the
Commissioner for Children and Young People's
finding that the information and knowledge management systems of the Department of Communities are not fit for purpose and
impede decision-making for children and young people and organisational capability, and that the department has internally prioritised funds to
progress the development of a business case to replace the current case
management system.
(1) When did the development of a business
case commence?
(2) How much funding has been made
available for this?
(3) When is the business case
scheduled for completion?
(4) Will it be made publicly
available?
