Legislative Council Fifty-Fifth Parliament, First Session (55-1) 55 1 Parliament of South Australia Legislative Council published Question Time Autism Assessments Autism Assessments The Hon. H.M. GIROLAMO Legislative Council Autism Assessments The Hon. H.M. GIROLAMO (14:54): Supplementary: has this resulted in wait times decreasing? The Hon. E.S. BOURKE Legislative Council Autism Assessments The Hon. E.S. BOURKE (14:54): I appreciate the honourable member's enthusiasm. It was only announced—the tender closed on 16 April, and it is now going through the process of announcing and finding out who those people will be in those successful positions. This is a really big area. I appreciate that the honourable member is wanting results here now, but there is a really big discussion to have in regard to autism assessments in South Australia, and I am really proud that we are having those discussions. I am glad that we are also making sure that the most vulnerable in our community are getting the support they need as quickly as possible. I also think, when we are having these discussions and having questions from the opposition who want to ask about 'What can we do about autism assessments?', it is about building knowledge in our community, and having these questions come from someone who can't even sign a charter is quite offensive.
