710 Ms COOK (Hurtle Vale) (25 August 2021).

1. What is the industry standard for frequency and content of advanced manual tasks for high care settings support staff?

2. What is the industry standard for frequency and delivery of advanced manual tasks for agencies delivering high care?

3. Does DHS meet these standards?

The Hon. V.A. CHAPMAN (Bragg—Deputy Premier, Attorney-General, Minister for Planning and Local Government): The Minister for Human Services has provided the following advice:

There is no disability industry standard relating to advanced manual tasks. Safework SA has published a code of practice (COP) for hazardous manual tasks. The Department of Human Services meets the standards set out within the COP.
