Family Responsibilities Commission

Report to the Family Responsibilities Board and
The Minister for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander and Multicultural Affairs

Quarterly Report
No. 22

October 2013 to December 2013

Report prepared by the Family Responsibilities Commission under the leadership of Commissioner David Glasgow

Executive Summary

During quarter 22, 855 agency notices were received by the Family Responsibilities Commission (the Commission) which were within jurisdiction, a decrease of 15 from last quarter.  There were 442 conferences held for the same period, representing a decrease of 27 from last quarter.  Eight Family Responsibility Agreements (FRAs) were entered into, 87 orders were made to attend community support services and 77 Conditional Income Management (CIM) orders were issued.  When compared to last quarter, this represents an increase of 1 FRA and 22 orders to attend community support services and a decrease of 20 orders for CIM.

Since the commencement of the Commission, 86 Voluntary Income Management (VIM) agreements have been processed.  Community members continue to express their desire to enter into VIM agreements in order to assist with budgeting and ensure funds remain available for purchases.

The Commission case managed 223 clients during the quarter.  The Commissioners made 152 referrals relating to 90 clients, an increase of 27 referrals from last quarter.  Further activity during the quarter consisted of 29 Applications to Amend or End Agreements or Orders, a decrease of 3 from the previous quarter.  Two Show Cause conferences were held during quarter 22, a decrease of 4 from last quarter.

On 15 October 2013 amendments to the Family Responsibilities Commission Act 2008 (the Act) were passed by the Queensland Parliament.  These amendments facilitated the extension of the Commission to 1 January 2015.  On 21 November 2013 Commissioner David Glasgow, Deputy Commissioner Rod Curtin and all Local Commissioners were officially reappointed for a term of one year commencing from 1 January 2014.  The Commission also welcomed the appointment of a new Local Commissioner for Aurukun, Mr. Thomas Toikalkin.  Local Commissioner Toikalkin will commence duties in the sittings commencing 15 February 2014.  Mr James Purtill, Director-General, Department of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander and Multicultural Affairs was appointed as the Chairperson of the Family Responsibilities Board and Ms Liza Carroll, Associate Secretary – Indigenous Affairs, Department of Prime Minister and Cabinet was appointed as a Board member for 2014.  Mr Noel Pearson remains a Board member for 2014.

An increase in the maximum amount of allowable income management to 90% was welcomed by the Commission and the Commissioners.  This increase, in addition to the 60% and 75% already in existence, is seen as a strengthening of the income management strategy, providing increased influence on those clients who have failed to demonstrate improved behaviours.  The amendment to the Act to allow Local Commissioners to conference without the presence of the FRC Commissioner is seen as a measure of the confidence shown in the Local Commissioners by the Queensland Government.  The Local Commissioners have travelled a long path since the commencement of the Commission in 2008 and have demonstrated their ability to effect local Indigenous authority within their communities.

The Commission ceased to deliver the Ending Family Violence Program in December 2013.  Although the delivery of the program by the Commission during 2013 resulted in increased participation, the Commission recognises that there is a need for a concentrated and more targeted delivery in the future.

The year 2013 concluded with the celebration of school attendances at each of the four welfare reform communities.  School awards ceremonies were attended by key Commission staff and Local Commissioners.  Recognition of outstanding attendance records was acknowledged by the Local Commissioners in front of the assembled school bodies.  Local Commissioners in Hope Vale and Mossman Gorge also attended Grade 7 graduation ceremonies, acknowledging the importance of continuing education after primary school.

Since commencement in July 2008, 85.6 percent of clients have received more than one notice with 53.7 percent of clients receiving more than five notices.  Frequently this illustrates multiple child school absences for the one family or multiple Magistrates Court notices relating to one incident.  Conversely, 14.4 percent of clients have received only one notice.

2	173	
3	126	
4	85	
5	96	
>5	809	
TOTAL	1506	

(Note:  Counting rules stipulate that where multiple charges are received each charge is counted as an individual notice or each child’s absence is counted as one notice – i.e. if three children from the one family were absent, that was counted as three notices).

Conferences
Four hundred and forty-two conferences were held across the four communities in quarter 22 resulting in 8 FRA’s being entered into, 87 orders made to attend community support services and 77 CIM orders as well as no further action, rescheduling and scheduling to return for review with compliance.

Conditional Income Management
Seventy-seven CIM orders were made in quarter 22, a decrease of 20 from quarter 21.  Since the commencement of the Commission 1,240 CIM orders inclusive of original orders, extensions and amendments have been made relating to 612 clients.  During the quarter Aurukun and Hope Vale decreased by 11 and 10 CIM orders respectively.  Coen increased by 1 CIM order and Mossman Gorge remained unchanged.

As at 31 December 2013, 40.2 percent of the Commission’s clients have been subject to a CIM order over the past five and a half years.  As at 31 December 2013 there were 255 clients subject to a CIM order which equates to 16.7 percent of clients on a CIM order at a point in time.  Commissioners continue to negotiate with clients to achieve desirable outcomes or to demonstrate motivation and commitment to make appropriate life choices.  Demonstrated positive steps toward taking responsibility provide the Commissioners with sufficient reason to consider revoking CIM orders when requested by the client.

Since the commencement of the Commission in 2008, 86 VIM agreements have been processed relating to 70 clients.  Those clients that request a VIM agreement use income management as a savings and budget tool, often for a specified period and to deter family members from accessing their income.

2.  Future Direction and Challenges

Future Direction

On 15 October 2013, the Queensland Parliament passed amendments to the Family Responsibilities Commission Act 2008 providing for the extension of the Commission to 1 January 2015.

Following the further extension of the Commission Her Excellency the Governor, acting under the provisions of the Family Responsibilities Commission Act 2008, approved the reappointment of Commissioner David Glasgow, Deputy Commissioner Rod Curtin and all Local Commissioners for a period of one year commencing 1 January 2014.  Her Excellency the Governor also appointed Mr James Purtill, Director-General, Department of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander and Multicultural Affairs as the Chairperson of the Family Responsibilities Board and Ms Liza Carroll, Associate Secretary – Indigenous Affairs, Department of Prime Minister and Cabinet as a Board member for 2014.  Mr Noel Pearson remains Board member for 2014.

The Commission intends to focus its attention on school attendance in term 1 of 2014.  To this extent it is developing strategies to work closely with partner agencies in a collaborative manner.  The Commission will be implementing an integrated case management model with relevant stakeholders.  The aim of this model is to successfully assess, assist and case manage these clients, through effective referral processes, stakeholder engagement and case management.
