Auditor-General's Report

In reply to the Hon. D.W. RIDGWAY (Leader of the Opposition) (15 November 2016).

The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Minister for Employment, Minister for Aboriginal Affairs and Reconciliation, Minister for Manufacturing and Innovation, Minister for Automotive Transformation, Minister for Science and Information Economy): I am advised:

The Department of State Development (DSD) has a formal monitoring process for companies that have participated in Our Jobs Plan programs. Participating companies provide DSD with project status and completion reports that detail the activities undertaken and outcomes achieved relevant to the program.

In addition, DSD proactively monitors the outcomes achieved by businesses that have participated in Our Jobs Plan programs. This includes regular contact with businesses involved in Our Jobs Plan programs to track progress and outcomes.
