| Joint Referral Review Team (JRRT) - Matters of interest identified through the Commission of Inquiry | What information does this report provide? The Joint Referral Review Team (JRRT) is a multi-agency team including key law enforcement and regulatory authorities. The core purpose of the JRRT project was to review all Section 34A Notices sent by the Commission of Inquiry into the Tasmanian Government’s Responses to Child Sexual Abuse in Institutional Settings (Commission) to Tasmanian agencies, law enforcement and regulatory entities and employee matters arising from the Commission report as identified by Heads of Agencies. The review focused on identifying any current risks to children and young people in connection to government institutions. Section 34A Notices are the mechanism by which the Commission notified agencies, law enforcement or independent regulators of concerns it may have had with respect to the conduct of an individual (see fact sheet here). This extensive data consolidation exercise has created a comprehensive dataset of all persons of interest relevant to the Commission of Inquiry. It is noted that not all Section 34A Notices received from the Commission contained enough information to identify alleged persons of interest, the specific nature of the allegations, or sufficient details about the alleged victims. Some Section 34A Notices were sent to multiple entities relating to the same allegation, and some Section 34A Notices contained reference to multiple persons of interest related to the same allegation. Therefore, the number of Section 34A Notices issued by the Commission does not equal the number of persons of interest identified. All matters have been reported and were reported at the time they were detected. Other important notes about the information provided in this report:

Assessment and actions by Heads of Agency in relation to matters referred to in the Commission of Inquiry report | What information does this report provide? This report provides an update on the assessment and actions by relevant Heads of Agencies of current and former Tasmanian State Service employees referred to in the Commission of Inquiry (COI) report. Heads of relevant Agencies have reviewed the COI report in relation to a current or former employee matters and these are being assessed to determine whether further action under the State Service Act 2000 is required. The Premier, on 17 October committed to providing as much information as is permitted by law. This report provides information at a whole of State Service level regarding the total number of employee matters arising from the COI report under consideration by Heads of Agencies, the breakdown of former and current State Service employees, the progress of those assessments and whether actions under the State Service Act have commenced or been determined. No individual Agency details have been identified to provide the appropriate confidentiality of employee information, particularly with processes that may be underway. The Government has accepted all 191 recommendations of the Report and the Government response to the Report was published on 1 December on how the implementation of the recommendations will progress. This report contains three sections:
When will this report be updated? This report will be updated on the 30th of every month until all actions are complete. This report may be amended with additional data when the Department of Justice completes its review of all Section 34A referrals. What else is occurring to ensure accountability and transparency? The Government has appointed Mr Peter Woolcott AO, former Australian Public Service Commissioner to conduct an independent review of all the actions taken in response to the information and concerns raised by the COI regarding state service employees. This is to ensure victim survivors and the community can have confidence that we are leaving no stone unturned. |
