NON-GOVERNMENT HUMAN SERVICES SECTOR — INDEXATION POLICY

377. Hon ALISON XAMON to the Leader of the House representing the Premier:

I refer to the November 2008 Western Australian government indexation policy for the non-government human services sector.

(1)  Why has this policy been abandoned?

(2)  Will the government commit to reinstating the policy?

(3)  If no to (2), why not?

(4)  If yes to (2), when?

Hon SUE ELLERY replied:
I thank the honourable member for some notice of the question.

(1)  The November 2008 Western Australian government indexation policy for the non-government human services sector was reviewed and amended by the previous government in December 2015. The policy continues to be in force.

(2)  See the answer to (1).

(3)–(4) Not applicable.
