MS FOLLETT - The answer to the Members question is as follows:
(1) Yes. The first officer was appointed in April 1991, during the Alliance Government, following an initiative taken during my first term in office. The position was established as a result of an agreement between the ACT Government Service and ACTCOSS to improve communication between the Government and the community sector. The position has been occupied since. that time by three officers on both a full and part-time basis. Recruitment action is currently underway for a fourth placement.
(a) The position was initially advertised for officers within the ACT Government Service at the AS05 to Senior Officer Grade C levels. The level of each officer selected was dependent upon the particular skills which were agreed as being of mutual benefit in improving communication between the Government and the community sector, and the level of officers who expressed an interest in the role. .
(b) The Chief Ministers Department has paid the salary of each project officer.
