I thank the honourable member for some notice of the question.
(1) Yes.
(2) A pilot study of a new BCA process was undertaken on a small number of schools, initially commencing in December 2016, and was focused on confirming the methodology.

It is anticipated that the survey will be completed in mid-2018.
