Principal Community Visitor

Mr DULUK (Davenport) (15:28): Supplementary: minister, were you surprised that the Principal Community Visitor report included an apology on page 9 of his 2016-17 annual report about the new reporting structure?

The Hon. K.A. HILDYARD (Reynell—Minister for Disabilities, Minister Assisting the Minister for Recreation and Sport) (15:28): Thank you to the member for his question. I think I have already covered those issues. I have covered at length the content of the report. I think it's a very good report, in terms of all of the issues that it covers.

I want to again, as I did last time, place on record my thanks to the volunteers who work as community visitors. The work they do is incredibly valuable and there is evidence in this report that their work makes a real difference to the lives of people with disability. It was really pleasing in the report also to see that there are a number of new volunteers who have come on board with the Community Visitor Scheme and I look forward to talking about that particular issue with the community visitor when I meet with him again in the coming weeks.
