JULIA FARR SERVICES

In reply to the Hon. S.G. WADE (18 June 2009).

The Hon. G.E. GAGO (Minister for State/Local Government Relations, Minister for the Status of Women, Minister for Consumer Affairs, Minister for Government Enterprises, Minister Assisting the Minister for Transport, Infrastructure and Energy): The Minister for Families and Communities has provided the following information:

1. The information required under Section 9 of the Julia Farr Services (Trusts) Act 2007 relating to the 2007-08 DFC Annual Report was omitted due to an administrative oversight by the Department.

2. The administrative oversight will be corrected in accordance with the Department of the Premier and Cabinet Circular PC013, Annual Reporting Requirements.

It should be noted that as at 30 March 2008, 128 people with disabilities were resident at Highgate Park. During the year, Disability SA, through its Community Transition Team, assisted residents who chose to return to their community through a 'person-centred planning process'.

The Community Transition Team accessed housing and worked with other stakeholders to establish supported community accommodation. They also relocated residents who chose to move. Interested members of the person's family were also involved in this planning.

All of the people who moved from Highgate Park are living successfully in supported community accommodation and no one has returned.

3. With regard to the government's guarantee to heritage clients of the former Julia Farr Services, this guarantee continues.
