Note 1: The Department advises that the terms referred to in questions 1, 3, and 4, namely "not allocated," "unsupervised," and "unallocated," should be referred to as monitored because this reflects more accurately the level of service being provided to these offenders.
Note 2: On Friday 18 April 2008, the Interim Orders imposed by the Western Australian Industrial Relations Commission were lifted. The CJS Workload Management Strategy was accepted by the CPSU/CSA and the dispute was settled by the WAIRC on the basis that the CPSU/CSA and its members were committed to the implementation of the Strategy.
