| Guide for use: | Persons employed (or engaged via contract) on a part-time or full-time paid basis, where the person is specifically employed to provide mental health care support and services to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. These mental health professionals have recognised qualifications and/or work experience in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Mental Health and/or Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health. Roles that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander mental health workers may perform include, but are not limited to:
The average is to be calculated from pay period figures. The length of the pay period is assumed to be a fortnight. Data on full-time equivalent staffing numbers by category should be consistent with data on salaries and wages by staffing category. If the full-time equivalent for contract staff is not collected then salaries for those contract staff should be included in other recurrent expenditure data items. Where staff provide services to more than one establishment, full-time equivalent staff members should be apportioned between all establishments to which services are provided on the basis of hours paid for in each (salary costs should be apportioned on the same basis). | |||||||||
