All figures provided are approximate as the WA Country Health Service component can only be estimated (explanation provided in (b) (ii) below).
(a) Approximately 196 as at 31 October 2013.
(b)(i) 140.
(ii) Approximately 56. In the WA Country Health Service community health nurses work flexibly across the community health sector, including child and school health services as required, hence this number is an estimate. A further 6 school health nurses and 1 speech pathologist will be employed in January 2014.
