On the basis that all three registers will transfer to VSACT, resourcing of three additional officers was made available in the 2022-23 Budget to support VSACT administration of the three Victims Registers.
Justice—community service work
(Question No 940)
Mrs Kikkert asked the Minister for Corrections, upon notice, on 14 October 2022:
(1) How many of the 16,486 Community Service Work (CSW) hours performed over the 2019-2020 financial year, were from the completion of education or programs designed to address offending risk factors.
(2) How many CSW hours were performed over (a) 2018-2019 and (b) 2021-2022, broken down by volunteer hours verses completion of education or program hours.
(3) What are the 11 charities and not-for-profits referenced in the 2022 inquiry into Community Corrections (page 18).
Mr Gentleman: The answer to the member’s question is as follows:
1) ACT Corrective Services (ACTCS) aggregate data does not delineate CSW hours attributable to education/programs from other community service work. An unreasonable diversion of resources would be required to provide a response.
2) As per question 1, ACTCS is unable to provide delineation of CSW hours between education/program hours and other community service work.
3) The charities and not-for-profits referenced in the 2022 Inquiry into Community Corrections are provided below:
Charities:
a) Salvation Army stores
b) St Vincent De Paul stores
c) Red Cross
d) Lifeline
e) Pegasus ACT – Riding for the Disabled
Community agencies:
a) Yeddung Mura Aboriginal Corporation
b) Canberra Indian Myna Action Group
c) Kippax Uniting Church
d) Gilmore Church
e) Tuggeranong Link of Community Houses and Centres
f) ACT Canine Association.
I am more than happy to provide the Member a briefing to explore the topics raised through questions 1 and 2.
