*In line with ROGS counting rules, detainees who by virtue of their situation are precluded from participating in education have been excluded from the denominator when calculating the percentage of total population. This figure also needs to be interpreted with caution as the percentage of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander detainees eligible to participate in education is also low, ranging from 16% to 23% over the five years.
(10) All detainees are supported in attending education and programs. Detainees who identify as Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander receive additional support from the Indigenous Liaison Officer and their Indigenous Case Manager.
(11) VET Programs available at the AMC for all detainees including detainees who identity as Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander include Occupational Health and Safety, Horticulture, Hospitality, General Construction, Information Technology and Certificate I and II in Business.
(12) ACTCS does not disaggregate Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander data by male and female for ROGS reporting. The data is available however it would place an onerous burden on ACTCS to compile and quality assure.
