Career and Workforce Development Centre

The Hon. D.W. RIDGWAY (Leader of the Opposition) (14:24): Supplementary question: given the increase the minister has spoken of, how many people accessed the centre in the last 30 days?

The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Minister for Employment, Minister for Aboriginal Affairs and Reconciliation, Minister for Manufacturing and Innovation, Minister for Automotive Transformation, Minister for Science and Information Economy) (14:24): I'm glad the Leader of the Opposition in this place has asked us about how many people have accessed services. I can tell him, Mr President. The program activities outcomes until 1 February, which I have statistics for, include: 3,015 individuals attending information sessions; 1,266 registrations, including when we widened it to cover the partners of those involved in the automotive supply scheme (there were 31 partners of those involved); 835 individuals have been supported to access career advice; and 407 activities for training tickets and/or licences have been approved for the Automotive Workers in Transition Program, which is what I have figures for.
