Mr Pratt asked the Minister for Police and Emergency Services, upon notice, on 18 October 2006:

Will the ACT Government continue to fund Supportlink; if so, what are the details of the cost and term of the contract with Supportlink.

Mr Corbell: The answer to the member’s question is as follows:

The ACT Government does not have a contract with Supportlink.

The ESA is looking at ways to engage Supportlink, but no contracts currently exist.

ACT Policing has recently completed a competitive tender process for provision of social support services. As a result of that process, Supportlink has been selected as the preferred tenderer.

Once finalised, they will be gazetted and made publicly available through the Australian Government’s Contracts website (www.contracts.gov.au).
