For young people who present to Canberra Hospital ED, the CAMHS Hospital Liaison Team (HLT) triages and assesses children, young people and adolescents with mental health vulnerabilities. HLT operates from 8.30am to 5.00pm Monday to Sunday. If a young person presents during these hours, an assessment is conducted by this team. If they present outside these hours, they are assessed by the MHCL.
Both Calvary Hospital as well as Canberra Hospital confirm mental health staff are rostered to provide mental health support to people that present to an emergency department.
The ACT Health Directorate is not aware that people, having presented, are ever advised that no practitioner is available to see them; they may be advised that there is a considerable waiting time anticipated in relation to demand at time of presentation.

In response to Mrs Kikkert’s question, I can inform the Assembly:
Service level data is not kept in relation to the number of supervised contact visits terminated because a birth parent has tried to explain the conditions of the contact visit.
Public housing—renewal program
Mr Gentleman (in reply to supplementary questions by Mr Wall and Mr Parton on Thursday, 18 June 2020):
All public housing developments approved by the planning and land authority have been determined to comply with the Territory Plan and Planning and Development Act 2007.
All public housing development applications are treated the same as any other development application and assessed against the same Territory Plan requirements.
The independent planning and land authority did not provide any special waivers, exemptions or conditions to public housing developments in the development assessment process.
