I thank the member for some notice of this question. (1) A ratio of one worker to 15 children who are in the care of the CEO is accepted as a benchmark workload for workers in this aspect of the department’s work. This ratio has been accepted by government and is backed by local, national and international research. There is no research evidence to conclude that this ratio or any specific ratio should be used to allocate other casework. The union is in negotiations with the department on work and case loads and other aspects of work. As part of these negotiations, no agreement has been reached on case loads. (2) Not applicable. (3) No. (4) Not applicable. (5) In the vast majority of cases this would be so. However, there may be some exceptions dependent on workers’ previous experience. In such cases a shortened induction program is mandatory. (6) Not applicable. (7) As at 15 June 2006, the department had seven staff undergoing mandatory induction, 18 staff undertaking start-up training and 22 staff booked on the next start-up training.
