CARE LEAVERS — HOME STRETCH TRIAL
1539. Hon NICK GOIRAN to the Leader of the House representing
the Minister for Child Protection:
I refer to reports of an extension
to the Home Stretch trial for an extra 60 young people.
(1) Where will the expansion be
based?
(2) When will the expansion
commence?
(3) Will the minister table her two
most recent briefing notes about the extension?
Hon SUE
ELLERY replied:
I thank the honourable member for some
notice of the question.
Through additional resources from
Lotterywest, the Home Stretch trial is being expanded to assist up to 25 extra
young people over three years. The additional funding provides a total of 60
places over the three years, consisting of up to 10 places in the first year
and up to 25 places in each of the second and third years.
(1) A decision on the location of
the expansion has not yet been made.
(2) The expansion will commence in
the first half of 2020.
(3) I table the attached briefing
notes.
