Community Visitor Scheme

106 Dr McFETRIDGE (Morphett) (12 August 2014). (First Session) In reference to 2014-15 Budget Paper 4, Volume 1, page 99 sub-program 2.1: Non-government and Individualised Funding—Are there any changes to reporting of incidents under the Community Visitor Scheme, particularly in relation to mandatory reporting requirements?

The Hon. A. PICCOLO (Light—Minister for Disabilities, Minister for Police, Minister for Correctional Services, Minister for Emergency Services, Minister for Road Safety): I have been advised:

Regulation 6 of the Disability Services (Community Visitor Scheme) Regulations 2013 sets out the reporting requirements for community visitors in disability accommodation. There have been no changes to the reporting of incidents under these Regulations. There are no mandatory notification requirements under the Disability Services (Community Visitor Scheme) Regulations 2013.
