Scope/Details of Request
...According to the Hansard transcript (p.15) of Secretary Frame’s testimony before the
FADaT Senate Estimates Committee on Wednesday 15 November 2023 Secretary Frame,
in response to a question from Senator Lambie, said about the DVA/UniSA MATES
program (although still suspended since mid-year) that “There is a consent that has been
in place for the program to operate it as it has for 18 years”.
I have searched the DVA website, the UniSA website and Hansard but it does not appear
that the Department of Veterans Affairs has made this ‘consent’ publicly available.
I have also checked the minutes the department has published of its ESO roundtables,
back issues of VetAffairs, referred to by Secretary Frame (on the same transcript page)
where it was suggested such information was communicated, but was unable to find any
such information.
As the ‘consent’ referred to by Secretary Frame has not been made publicly available by
DVA, can the Department of Veterans Affairs please provide copy of it.
As Secretary Frame appears quite aware of that ‘consent’ document for the DVA/UniSA
MATES program and reviewed it before she gave her testimony to the committee this
week, it should be able to be quickly located by the Secretary’s office.

It sounds like a discrete document and one able to be reviewed quickly for release.
As I am sure more than just me would be interested in this ‘consent’ document, please
en ure it will be acce ible on relea e for me than ju t me
