Parliamentary Questions


Question Without Notice No. 1048 asked in the Legislative Council on 8 October 2020 by Hon Donna Faragher

Parliament: 40 Session: 1

SCHOOL PSYCHOLOGISTS

1048. Hon DONNA FARAGHER to the Minister for Education and Training:

I refer to school psychologists.

(1) For the 2018 and 2019 school years what is the ratio of appointed school psychologists to students in —

(a) secondary schools and district high schools;

(b) primary schools;

(c) educational support and remote community schools; and

(d) others not listed in (a) to (c)?

(2) Will the minister provide a breakdown, by service, of the number of psychologists employed by the department in other service areas not already identified in answer to (1)?

Hon SUE ELLERY replied:

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

I note that this question was submitted on 24 September and my answer then was that I was unable to provide an answer on that day as the information was not able to be provided in the time frame. I undertook to provide an answer to this question on 13 October 2020. If I had reread that this morning —

Hon Donna Faragher: That's what I assumed.

Hon SUE ELLERY: If I had reread that question this morning—I did not—I would have made sure that I could give the member an answer. I will see whether I can get her something before next week.
