Medical Training Survey

The Hon. C. BONAROS (15:03): Further supplementary: just to clarify, does the minister accept that these are the reasons that have been pointed out in the survey I referred to, and also that an argument was made that reducing or increasing those contract terms will go a long way towards reducing the incidences of bullying and harassment and creating a more positive culture in SA Health?

The PRESIDENT: The supplementary question needs to be concise.

The Hon. S.G. WADE (Minister for Health and Wellbeing) (15:04): I have acknowledged that contract renewal is a stress point. If, for example, a person was a public servant with life tenure, they don't have that stress point. So I suppose, logically, if you reduce the stress points, you reduce the potential for detriment, but I think it's really important that we ensure a culture that encourages reporting and pursuit of complaints because, to be frank, even if you take out the contract stress points, there will be other ones in a workplace.
