(a) Professional categories are defined by profession rather than role. See the National Mental Health
Report 2007 for a full description of the derivation of staffing estimates.
(b) Total FTE figures in this table differ from those in table 12A.40 as they include ‘other personal care’
direct care staff which are not included in table 12A.40 totals. See section 12.7 for definitions.
(c)
The apparent absence of community residential services in Queensland reflects Queensland’s
preference to describe such facilities as ‘extended inpatient care’.
(d) WA data for community residential services in 2002-03 have been revised.
