Question asked
  1. Does the ACT Commissioning Roadmap 2022–2024 state that in mid-2024 the Government “will start refreshing the commissioning roadmap again to forecast out to 2028”; if so, can the Minister provide a copy of the updated roadmap?
  2. Why is the updated roadmap not on the website, and when this will be published.
  3. Does the Commissioning Roadmap 2022-2024 state that “We are actively commissioning or intend to commission by 2024 the following services or programs that are meeting the needs of the growing Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community in Canberra, Winnunga Nimmityjah Aboriginal Health and Community Services, Gugan Gulwan Youth Aboriginal Corporation, Yerrabi Yurwang Child and Family Corporation, CIT Job Readiness Program, an Aboriginal Community Controlled Organisation for Housing, and First Nations Justice Support programs"; if so, can the Minister provide an update on the progress of those commissioning processes.
  4. Given that there are few updates on the website about the status of the other commissioning processes since July 2024, when will the Minister be providing public updates on those processes on the website.
  5. Can the Minister provide a statement covering all the commissioning processes, advising what stage of the process these are at, what actions are currently underway, and when the Minister anticipates the commissioning process will be complete for each sector.
