The duress alarms and system at the Alexander Maconochie Centre are completely managed by ACT Corrective Services.
In Dhulwa and ECU, the mobile duress alarm devices are allocated and electronically registered to an individual staff member at the commencement of each shift. At the time of registration, each staff member checks that their allocated duress alarm is working prior to entering the clinical floor. The devices operate throughout the units via WiFi enabled systems which are regularly checked and maintained through ACT Health, Digital Solutions.
At the City Community Health Centre, there are 12 fixed duress alarms, with the Justice Health Services allocated space. The duress alarms are tested monthly by building security.
(2) All mobile duress alarms in Dhulwa and ECU are currently accounted for. If any device is lost or broken, they are either repaired or replaced as soon as practicable. If any device is unaccounted for, they can be electronically tracked to the last person to whom the device was allocated.
Animals—off-leash areas
Mr Steel (in reply to a question and supplementary questions by Ms Lawder and Mr Parton on Wednesday, 28 November 2018):
• In accordance with the Domestic Animals Act 2000, dogs in public places must be restrained by a leash, unless in a declared exercise area.
• Declared exercise areas are identified on the dog exercise area map on the ACTmapi website.
• Dogs being exercised off-leash in a declared exercise area must remain under the effective control of their keeper/carer.
• The TCCS website is accurate in the information it provides.
ACT Supreme Court—coat of arms
Mr Ramsay (in reply to a question and supplementary questions by Mr Hanson and Mr Wall on Wednesday, 28 November 2018):
1. The issue of the coat of arms has been raised on a number of occasions throughout the planning, design and construction of the building. In April 2018, the Territory Project Team provided a formal brief to me on the use of coat of arms within the Court.
2. I have exchanged no correspondence with the Chief Justice about this matter although I have discussed the issue at meetings with Her Honour. I am not aware of any correspondence between the previous Attorney-General and the Chief Justice in regards to this matter.
