28734 (2025). Dr Tracey McLellan to the Minister of Corrections: How many (number and percentage), if any, sentenced and remand women prisoners do not have a case manager as of 31 May 2025 broken down by prison and offence type?

Hon Mark Mitchell: I am advised that Corrections acknowledges the importance of working with people from their arrival into prison to ensure their needs are addressed and their rehabilitation and reintegration is supported. Case Managers work directly with people in prison to assess their needs, identify specific areas of focus and ensure their time in prison is used to their benefit. I am further advised that in addition to Case Managers, Corrections Officers meet with people in prison to discuss progress and issues in relation to their offender plan, assist them in achieving activities, and act as conduits between the prisoner and their Case Manager. I refer the member to table one of my response to WPQ 28771 (2025) for the number of women who have not been assigned a Case Manager, broken down by the prison and percentage, as at 31 May 2025. I refer the member to the attached table, which provides the number and percentage of sentenced and remand women prisoners who do not have a Case Manager, as at 31 May 2025, by offence type.
