12. See response to Q9.
A recent initiative of the ACT Government in the 2018-19 Budget was to fund a Young Worker Advice Service, launched in July 2019. This Service supports all young workers and provides information and advice about workplace rights to young workers, including information about pay rates, National Employment Standards, and work health and safety.
13. I have advised by my directorate that the information sought is not in an easily retrievable form. In some cases, this data is not kept by the directorate and in other cases, to compile the data would require manual review of individual files for each of the past ten years.
To collect and assemble the information sought solely for the purpose of answering a question would require considerable resources. In this instance,
I do not believe that it would be appropriate to divert resources from other priority activities for the purposes of answering the Member’s question.
14. The ACT Government does not collect labour market data of this nature. This enquiry would be more appropriately directed to the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS). A link to the ABS August 2019 Labour Force Commentary is attached for the Member’s information https://www.abs.gov.au/ausstats/abs@.nsf/Latestproducts/6202.0Main%20Features2Aug%202019?opendocument&tabname=Summary&prodno=6202.0&issue=Aug%202019&num=&view=

ACT public service—employment data
(Question No 2771)
Miss C Burch asked the Minister for Education and Early Childhood Development, upon notice, on 25 October 2019:
(1) Can the Minister provide a breakdown of total approved leave by formal classification and division for all employees in the Education Directorate including (a) what the total costs attributed to approved leave were and (b) total leave as a percentage of total attendance hours, for (i) 2017-18 and (ii) 2018-19.
(2) In relation to claims for compensation due to bullying and harassment, what was the total (a) number of claims lodged in each division, (b) number of claims paid in each division and (c) cost of compensation in each division.
Ms Berry: The answer to the member’s question is as follows:
1)
a) The breakdown of total approved leave by division for all employees in the Education Directorate including the total costs attributed to the leave is below. Data cannot be disaggregated by classifications due to the small numbers involved as this information may identify officers involved.
