Ms Burch: The answer to the member’s question is as follows:
Part answer to the Member's question is collated in a table at Attachment A.
The Member is advised the requested information is not centrally located, therefore the response has been limited to those items that were considered to be ‘high-level’ rather than covering every program, event, publication, policy or public announcement for the Department of Disability, Housing and Community Services.
After careful consideration of the question, and advice provided by my Department, I have determined the information sought is not in an easily retrievable form, and to collect and assemble the information sought solely for the purpose of answering the question in full would be a major task, requiring a considerable diversion of resources. In this instance, I do not believe that it would be appropriate to divert resources from the provision of direct services to clients, for the purposes of answering the Member’s question.
