Output Group 2: Committee Services

2.2 Inquiry facilitation

Providing procedural, research, analytical and administrative support for the conduct of inquiries and the publication of the final report

Although a survey of members satisfaction was not undertaken during the year, the Committee Office used ongoing qualitative mechanisms to assess the inquiry facilitation services provided to committees. Both the Clerk and the Clerk Assistant (Committees) initiated contact with committee chairs, deputy chairs and committee members generally in order to gauge levels of satisfaction. Feedback from those mechanisms indicated continued high levels of satisfaction.

Another source of feedback for committee staff is speeches made in the House at the time committee reports are tabled. The following are examples of comments made by members when reports were tabled during the year.

I would like to thank the committee secretariat. It has been fantastic. It is great to work with a secretariat that has commitment, passion and vision.

I too would like to congratulate the members of the secretariat, who put up with us when we were busy rephrasing and re-positioning various bits of their report. They are wonderful people and they deserve our respect and admiration.
