Parliamentary Questions


Question Without Notice No. 1115 asked in the Legislative Council on 7 December 2021 by Hon Martin Aldridge

Parliament: 41 Session: 1

COMMUNITY EMERGENCY SERVICES MANAGERS

1115. Hon MARTIN ALDRIDGE to the Leader of the House representing the Minister for Emergency Services:

I refer to the engagement of community emergency services managers in conjunction with local government.

(1) Is the minister aware that there is a significant inconsistency in salary and conditions between Department of Fire and Emergency Services–engaged and local government–engaged CESMs?

(2) If yes to (1), what action is the minister taking to ameliorate this concern?

(3) Has the state government commissioned a review of the CESM program and funding arrangement; and, if so, will the minister please table the review?

Hon SUE ELLERY replied:

I thank the honourable member for some notice of the question.

(1)–(2) A Department of Fire and Emergency Services community emergency services manager is employed under the Western Australian fire service enterprise bargaining agreement, while a local government community emergency services manager is employed under the respective city or shire's enterprise bargaining agreement or award. There are differences in salary and conditions within each EBA.

(3) No.
