Indigenous Health Workers

The Hon. C. BONAROS (15:26): Supplementary: I thank the minister for his answer and just clarify also, in addition to the response he has given, whether the framework will be released publicly for comment?

The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Minister for Aboriginal Affairs, Attorney-General, Minister for Industrial Relations and Public Sector) (15:26): I thank the honourable member for her question. I am not sure exactly which framework the honourable member is referring to, but I will make inquiries about that particular framework. Certainly, I am aware of a number of frameworks in different local health networks. I have helped launch a couple of frameworks over the last year in terms of Aboriginal participation in their workforces, but in relation to the one the honourable member has mentioned, I will have to seek advice about what the intention is with the development, the consultation, the publication of said framework.
