Parliament: 41 Session: 1

PRISONS — TAFE COLLEGES

722. Hon PETER COLLIER to the minister representing the Minister for Corrective Services:

I refer the minister to Western Australia's 16 public prisons.

(1) Do any prisons have a partnership with any TAFE colleges?

(2) If yes to (1), which prisons and with which TAFE colleges?

(3) If yes to (1), which courses are provided for prisoners?

Hon DARREN WEST replied:

On behalf of the Minister for Regional Development, I thank the member for some notice of the question. On behalf of the Minister for Corrective Services, I provide the following answer.

(1) Yes. TAFE colleges have well-established working relationships with prisons in Western Australia to coordinate the delivery of training to prisoners when the training is provided directly by the TAFE colleges.

(2) See the response at attachment 1, which I seek leave to have incorporated into Hansard.
