When you talk about Centrelink making efforts to address the truancy issue, my understanding from the committee inquiry is that Centrelink’s job is basically to comply with the information that is passed to them from the education department in either the NT or Western Australia. This is a tool to help the states implement a truancy program or a school re-engagement program. Do the state, the education department and the school continue the engagement with the family or is that passed over to Centrelink?
