Thriving Kids

The Hon. H.M. GIROLAMO (Deputy Leader of the Opposition) (15:21): Supplementary: in regard to the commencement time of 1 July 2026, how will this work within a school environment, given that will be midway through the year as well?

The Hon. E.S. BOURKE (Minister for Emergency Services and Correctional Services, Minister for Autism, Minister for Recreation, Sport and Racing) (15:21): I really appreciate the honourable member's feedback. I think these are good questions to be discussing and working through over this period. As I said earlier, this was announced yesterday. There will be an advisory group made available. Good feedback should always be provided directly to the minister. I am happy for it to be provided to myself as well to forward on. As I said, these discussions happened yesterday, and we've got some time now to look at what that will look like.
