Family Wellbeing Centres

70 Dr McFETRIDGE (Morphett) (12 August 2014).

1. Why was the estimated result for 2013-14 for the Family Wellbeing Centre $542,000 higher than in 2012-13?

2. Which department has responsibility for family wellbeing centres?

3. What funding is provided to family wellbeing centres from other departments?

The Hon. Z.L. BETTISON (Ramsay—Minister for Communities and Social Inclusion, Minister for Social Housing, Minister for Multicultural Affairs, Minister for Ageing, Minister for Youth, Minister for Volunteers): I have been advised:

1. The estimated result in 2013-14 ($1.43 million) for the Mimili Family Wellbeing Centre is $542,000 higher than the actual expenditure in 2012-13 ($888,000) as whilst some of the capital works were completed in 2012-13, the majority were completed in 2013-14.

2. The Department for Communities and Social Inclusion has responsibility for the Mimili Family Wellbeing Centre. The other two new centres are located at Amata and Pukatja and are managed by the South Australian Department for Health and Ageing and the Department for Education and Child Development respectively.

3. Questions on the level of funding for family wellbeing centres from other departments should be directed to the relevant ministers.
