The ORER became a prescribed agency from 1 July 2003.  Prior to that date, the ORER was not required to publish financial year annual reports.  The ORER did not report on outcomes achieved for clients from diverse linguistic and cultural backgrounds in the 2003-04 annual report.

For the each of the i) 1999-00, ii) 2000-01, iii) 2001-02, iv) 2002-03, v) 2003-04 financial years, did the department budget for costs associated with developing culturally responsive and accessible services?

Answer/s:
Department of the Environment and Heritage
The department does not explicitly account for the cost of developing culturally responsive and accessible services in its annual budgets. Some departmental programmes and projects affect people from different cultural and linguistic backgrounds – mainly indigenous people. In each case the costs associated with being culturally responsive and accessible are absorbed within the relevant programme.

Senator Ludwig asked:
Of these, in each financial year how many did the funding conditions in contracts specify relevant access and equity accountabilities (for example, collection and reporting of information on client characteristics)?

Answer/s:
Department of the Environment and Heritage
None of the agreements for the delivery of programmes or services contained specific access and equity requirements. However intermediary service providers must comply with relevant Commonwealth statutes, regulations, by-laws, and requirements used.

The contract does not require the reporting of cultural characteristics as the contract relates to making an internet-based system available to the public and not to provide services to ‘clients’ as would generally be meant by that term.  As the system can be accessed by the public, and accessing the system can be completely anonymous, a simple mechanism to collect this information is not available.

The Parties agree with respect to the implementation of the PVRP to comply with the information privacy principles set out in section 14 of the Privacy Act 1988 and to comply in so far as is practicable with any policy guidelines laid down by the Commonwealth or issued by the Privacy Commissioner from time to time relating to the handling of personal information”.

Can the Department provide a current list of each community information publication it publishes in English as at a) the current date (2, December 2004) or if this is unavailable b) 30 June, 2004 (and take from then to 2 December 2004 On Notice) or if this is unavailable c) 1 January 2004 (and take from then to 2 December 2004 On Notice) or if this is unavailable d) the last date for which they were available (specify date and take from then to 2 December 2004 On Notice)?

Answer/s:
Department of the Environment and Heritage
Most of the department’s community information publications are listed on the internet at http://www.deh.gov.au/about/publications/list.html. (This site also provides access to the publications of other environment and heritage portfolio agencies). Other lists of publications are available at

The department does not maintain a complete list of all its publications centrally. The internet listings are updated at least weekly.
