Parliamentary Questions


Question Without Notice No. 633 asked in the Legislative Council on 7 September 2021 by Hon Donna Faragher

Parliament: 41 Session: 1

JOINT ADVISORY COMMITTEE — PARTNERSHIP FORUM EARLY YEARS WORKING GROUP

633. Hon DONNA FARAGHER to the parliamentary secretary representing the Minister for Community Services:

I refer to the joint advisory committee, formerly known as the partnership forum early years working group.

(1) Who forms the current membership of this committee?

(2) Will the minister provide a copy of the committee's terms of reference and advise when they were last updated?

Hon SAMANTHA ROWE replied:

I thank the member for some notice of the question and provide the following answer on behalf of the Minister for Communities.

(1) The joint advisory committee membership comprises nominated members from industry, state government departments, local government, not-for-profit organisations, community, and philanthropic organisations/investors. The existing committee includes representation from City of Kwinana, City of Cockburn, Department of Education, Department of Health, Department of Communities, Department of Social Services, Woodside Energy Ltd, chair/s of the joint leadership team, Western Australian Council of Social Service, Child and Adolescent Health Service, and Ngala.

(2) The joint advisory committee's existing terms of reference were last endorsed in August 2019. The terms of reference are currently under review. Following completion of this process, Communities will consult with appropriate stakeholders to determine whether the updated joint advisory committee's terms of reference will be made public. As Communities is not the custodian or owner of the terms of reference, members of the committee would need to be consulted prior to the release of the terms of reference.
