Disability Services

The Hon. E.S. BOURKE (15:26): My question is to the Minister for Human Services regarding disability in relation to the notification of people after the recent alleged rape of a woman with an intellectual disability. When exactly were people notified and how exactly were people notified? How many people or families have been notified? Has any relevant party been identified but not notified and what efforts are underway to find them?

The Hon. J.M.A. LENSINK (Minister for Human Services) (15:27): My understanding is that, broadly speaking, all of the residents, their guardians and families across the entire service have been notified. We have roughly 500 clients at any one time in supported accommodation services and my understanding is that they have all been contacted, and the means in which they have been contacted is through the system I described earlier, which is to triage those who are the most impacted to those who are the least likely to be impacted.
