I thank the member for some notice of the question.
Emergency accommodation can be sought from a range of
agencies, including other government agencies and community service sector
agencies; it is not provided solely by the Department for Child Protection and
Family Support. Information on the provision of homelessness services is
collected via the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare through the
specialist homelessness services collection. According to this data, the number
of people provided with emergency accommodation in 2011–12 was 7 115.
