Mr. Pat Bennett:

The last question from the Senator was on the grant to voluntary organisations. The formal answer and process is that we have service level agreements with the organisations under which they outline budget requirements for the year. Normally, 11% or 12% goes towards administrative costs and support. Most of the rest should be on direct services.

Several of the groups we fund in mental health are advocacy organisations. Much of their work is on campaigns, advertising, promoting and networking events. They are not real service deliverers in the sense of mental health services; they are advocacy organisations. There is an ongoing monitoring process with these organisations. I suppose we could be more forensic than we have been, to be honest. We need to look at that. However, the service level agreement is the template we use for the grants.
