COMMUNITIES — EDUCATION AND CARE REGULATORY UNIT
428. Hon DONNA FARAGHER to the Leader of the House
representing the Minister for Community Services:
I refer to the minister's
press statement of 22 April 2022 titled, ''$114 million boost to protect
and support Western Australian children''
and the particular reference to ''�$9.1 million will also be allocated
to keep WA kids in early childhood education safe.''
Will the minister provide more
detail and a breakdown of what programs and/or initiatives will be funded
through this $9.1 million allocation?

AnswerView source ↗

I thank the honourable member for
some notice of the question.
The allocated $9.1 million approved
through the 2022–23 budget process will support the activities of the
Department of Communities' education and care regulatory unit. ECRU is
responsible for approving provider and service applications, completing
assessments and ratings against the National Quality Standard, monitoring
compliance, and completing investigations and compliance actions.
