Senator Robert Ray asked the Minister for Family and Community Services, upon notice, on 23 June 1999:

How many Comcare Australia claims have been made by staff of the department in the 1997-98 financial year.


Senator Newman (Family and Community Services; Minister Assisting the Prime Minister for the Status of Women) —The answer to the honourable senator's question is as follows:

The Department of Family and Community Services was not created until the machinery of government changes of October 1998. The Department of Social Security was the predecessor Department. A total of 7 claims were made on Comcare by that Department's staff in the 1997/98 financial year.
