(4) How many applications were received for each notice.
(5) Were interviews conducted for each notice; if not, why not.
(6) Was anyone acting in the role of Director of Medical Imaging at any time during the period 1 July 2016 and 30 June 2018; if so, between what dates was the person acting in the role and was the person acting in the role appointed to the role permanently; if so, on what date was the permanent appointment made.
Ms Fitzharris: The answer to the member’s question is as follows:
(1) On three occasions.
(2) Yes. Relevant documents are attached.
(3) The classification for the position changed.
a. The Director Medical Imaging was advertised as a Senior Officer Grade A position in April 2017. The recruitment process was not finalised as the then Director-General of ACT Health considered the position was more appropriately filled at the Executive 1.3 level to strengthen governance and accountability.
b. The then Director-General proposed this change of classification to the Head of Service.
c. The Head of Service approved the revised classification as part of a broader review of senior positions within ACT Health.
(4) Six applications were received for the position as advertised in April 2017. Two applications were received for the position as advertised in June 2017. Two applications were received for the position as advertised in October 2017.
(5) No interviews were conducted in relation to the position as advertised in April 2017 as the process was discontinued when the role was upgraded to the Executive 1.3 classification. No interviews were conducted when the process was advertised in June 2017 due to neither of the two applicants satisfying the mandatory qualification
