Question Without Notice No. 774 asked in the Legislative Council on 8 August 2019 by Hon Michael Mischin

Parliament: 40 Session: 1

BENNETT BROOK DISABILITY JUSTICE CENTRE — RESIDENTS

774. Hon MICHAEL MISCHIN to the Minister for Disability Services:

I refer to the Bennett Brook Disability Justice Centre.

(1) How many residents does the centre hold and, for each resident, what offences is each alleged to have committed?

(2) How many staff and of what categories are at the centre?

(3) Have any of the residents, while at the centre, escaped, assaulted or threatened staff, or failed to comply with leave-of-absence conditions; and, if so, for each resident, on how many occasions?

(4) Has there been any complaint from any staff of fears for their safety; and, if so, how many, and from which staff, and how have those complaints been dealt with and with what result?

(5) What is the connection between the injunctions obtained by the Disability Services Commission and the conduct of residents at the centre?

Hon STEPHEN DAWSON replied:

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

Due to the level of detailed information requested in the question, I request that the honourable member put the question on notice.
