I thank the
member for some notice of the question.
(1) (a) Signage
is being gradually updated during 2013, often as part of new building fit-outs
or general maintenance. The total budget for this process is about $60 000.
(b) Current stationery, business cards and
other office supplies will be exhausted before further supplies are ordered
with the department's new title.
(c) Changes to websites and other
internet-based information are managed in-house at no additional cost.
(2) Although
the department's name was changed to better reflect what it does, no
advertising campaign was considered necessary to alert the public of this
change. All correspondence addressed to the Department for Child Protection,
including emails and other electronic communication, will still be delivered.
(3) Not
applicable.
