(1) (a) November 2008:
Child and Adolescent Community Health (CACH, in Metropolitan Perth) - 120.54 FTE employed in school health service. District level data is not available.
WA Country Health Service (WACHS) is unable to retrospectively report on FTE school health nurses, both permanent and contract as the system does not differentiate school nurses from other community health nurses.
(b) June 2009:
CACH - 125.94 FTE employed in school health service. District level data is not available.
WACHS is unable to retrospectively report on FTE school health nurses, both permanent and contract as the system does not differentiate school nurses from other community health nurses.
(c) November 2009:
CACH - 120.76 FTE (including North Coastal Zone, 37.38 FTE; Inland Zone, 45.35 FTE; and South Coastal Zone, 38.03 FTE)
WACHS is unable to retrospectively report on FTE school health nurses, both permanent and contract as the system does not differentiate school nurses from other community health nurses.
(d) January 2010:
CACH - 118.18 FTE employed in school health service. District level data is not available.
WACHS - 55.88 FTE school Health Nurses. These are broken down by region as follows: Kimberley, 6 FTE; Pilbara, 6.2 FTE; Midwest, 6.7 FTE; Wheatbelt, 8.38 FTE; Goldfields, 6.8 FTE; South West, 15.35 FTE; and Great Southern, 6.45 FTE.

It is anticipated there will be similar FTE to those listed at (1)(d) for WACHS regions in July 2010.
