Action 4: Improve social media accessibility Ensure the Victorian Government’s Digital Standards for accessibility of government social media content are adopted across Victorian Government agencies, including requirement that videos include a text equivalent with captions or transcripts. Notes These actions may be subject to the availability of funding. Strengthen social media guidelines to raise awareness of requirement for alt text descriptions on images and captions/transcripts on videos across government agencies Guidelines to specify that inbuilt captions (such as Youtube) are not always accurate DPC digital to assess extent of issue of social media images with no text description Recommend use of Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.0 AAA Standard for content designed for PWD SCEPB Digital Oct – Dec 18 SCEPB Digital – Oct 2018 SCEPB Digital – Dec 2018 SCEPB Digital – Completed
Task Summary Next Steps Who & Timing Action 6: The standards in the updated DPC Accessible Communications Guidelines will be reflected in all relevant Victorian Government documents. The updated Accessible Communication Guidelines will be reflected and embedded through all department and Victorian Government communications guidelines and protocol documents. Ensure that relevant Victorian Government communications guidance documents incorporate accessibility standards. For example: WOVG Comms Guidelines and associated government communication policies e.g. Brand Victoria Guidelines Digital Standards DPC’s Writing and Grammar Style Guide Publications guidelines Event protocols SCEPB – 2019 Note/update: Version 2 of the Victoria guidelines, released July 2018, now include an accessibility colour palette.
Action 7: Increase the accessibility of government events The Action plan could consider a number of options to ensure that events run by Victorian departments are more accessible. For example: Training for Department staff to manage fully accessible events. Information about accessible events will be included in the updated Accessible Communication Guidelines, including information on Easy Read signage, translators and interpreters. Notes Implementation would require agreement by Departments and may be subject to the availability of funding. Event organisers to make available for all govt events a checklist of what is available in terms of accessibility e.g. quiet/recharge space, background noise, available seating, whether closest public transport is accessible Include this expanded checklist in the updated Accessible Communication guidelines Potentially provide a central database of accessible venues as part of the SDP SCEPB Events & Protocol/Digital – 2019
Accounting profit is determined at the consolidated entity level. Accordingly, determining the accounting profit for an entity’s Australian operations where the Australian operations comprise a subset of the consolidated group, will require adjustments to ensure the company tax expense numerator is consistent with the accounting profit denominator. For example, transactions with ‘foreign entities’ within the accounting consolidated group should not be eliminated from the calculation of accounting profit for Australian operations if company income tax is determined with these transactions included. Entities should clearly explain any adjustments made to the consolidated accounting profit to determine the profit for the Australian operations. Information about an entity’s TTC ETR may help users better understand an entity’s income taxes position relative to the company tax rate/s. There are a number of reasons why an entity’s TTC ETR may be low relative to the Australian corporate income tax rate. In such cases, disclosure of the contextual information underpinning the numerical disclosure provides useful information to users as it assists in understanding the TTC ETR. Illustrative example 2 sets out an example of how an entity present information about the TTC ETRs. How does the TTC ETR compare with accounting ETR? Australian Accounting Standard AASB 112 Income Taxes, defines ETR (the accounting ETR) as: “The average effective tax rate is the tax expense (income) divided by the accounting profit.” The table below sets out when the accounting and TTC ETRs will be the same. Differences have presentation implications that are discussed in paragraph . Table 2: Differences between the accounting and TTC ETRs Calculation element TTC ETR Accounting ETR TTC and accounting ETR equal when Numerator – tax expense Company tax expense only Broader definition, including taxes based on profit such as Petroleum Resource Rent Tax Not subject to taxes other than income taxes, no material under or over statements, interest, penalties or refunds related to prior years Denominator – accounting profit Accounting profit per the accounting standards, or alternative measures such as underlying earnings Accounting profit per accounting standards Accounting profit as defined by the accounting standards adopted as the denominator for the TTC ETR

Changes in a person’s usual care of their home environment A strong of ammonia or faeces on entering the home. Fresh urine does not usually smell bad. If It does the person may have an infection. Increased amount of washing, e.g. towels, clothing, linen and underwear Changing bedding more often Client may stay in their nightwear for longer, e.g. because it’s easier to pull up/down and not such a problem to change if they do not make it to the toilet Client may wear long shirts or jackets to cover up stains You notice wet patches or stains on furniture or on the back of clothing What should I do if I think there is a problem? Many people with a continence problem do not seek help because of embarrassment, shame or thinking nothing can be done. Be aware that continence is a sensitive issue to most people, even though as a HACC community support worker you may face these issues daily. How do I discuss a continence concern with the client? Focus on the person with the problem Actively listen to the client, making assumptions and uninformed judgments Choose simple words and short sentences and use a gentle, calm tone of voice Allow enough time for a response. Be careful not to interrupt

Dismantler Requirements For replacement projects, ARB requires that the existing vehicle is destroyed. Destruction of the existing vehicle chassis and engine permanently removes the old, high-emitting vehicles from operation. This requirement has been established to ensure that emission reductions are real. It prevents the existing vehicles from being moved into another locale to continue emitting high levels of pollutants. Air districts will establish a list of participating dismantlers that existing vehicles can be delivered to or picked up for destruction. A dismantler must enter into an agreement with at least one air district to participate in VIP. Appendix D lists the terms that must be included in the air district/dismantler agreement. The following are requirements for participating dismantlers. Participating vehicle dismantlers are required to meet the following requirements in to participate in the VIP and provide verification to the air district: Be licensed by DMV as a Dismantler for a minimum of the last two Have a current, valid California Environmental Protection Agency (Cal/EPA) Hazardous Materials Generators Permit; Comply with all state and federal laws and regulations; Owner must have a minimum of one (1) active employee who received training by the air district on the requirements of the Program. If a dismantler has more than one location, then the dismantler must have at least one (1) active employee trained by the air district at each location that will be accepting VIP trucks; and Have had a valid business license issued in California for a minimum of the last two years. Funding is not available for the dismantling of any existing vehicle.

TERRACE (Ft.) 600 DEFINITION An earth embankment, or a combination ridge and channel, constructed across the field slope. PURPOSE This practice is applied as part of a resource management system for one or more of the following purposes: Reduce erosion and trap sediment Retain runoff for moisture conservation CONDITIONS WHERE PRACTICE APPLIES This practice applies where: Soil erosion caused by water and excessive slope length is a problem Excess runoff is a problem There is a need to conserve water The soils and topography are such that terraces can be constructed and reasonably farmed A suitable outlet can be provided CRITERIA General Criteria Applicable to All Purposes Spacing. Space terraces at intervals across the slope to achieve the intended purpose. The maximum spacing of terraces for erosion control the soil loss tolerance (T) or other soil loss criteria that is documented in the Field Office Technical Guide. Include both the terrace system with planned as-built slopes and cultural practices such as residue management when determining soil loss. The slope length used when checking soil loss for a proposed terrace spacing is the distance from the terrace ridge to the next lower terrace channel measured along the natural flow direction. Maximum spacing for erosion control based on soil loss tolerance may be increased by as much as 10 percent to provide better location, alignment to accommodate farm machinery or to reach a satisfactory outlet. The methods that may be used to determine terrace spacing include the current NRCS accepted erosion prediction technology, the Vertical Interval Equation or state-developed methods address unique soil, cropping or other farming practices that affect terrace spacing. Refer to the current NRCS accepted erosion prediction software and user guide to determine soil loss.

Base measures of current population size, and age/class structure are identified and dispersal rates are assessed. Strategy 1b - Increase spawning success for spotted handfish Action Description Priority Performance Criteria Responsibility Indicative Cost (priority 1 only) 1b (1) Assess the effects of artificial spawning habitat on spotted handfish reproductive output. 1 Spotted handfish use of artificial spawning substrate is recorded, with eggs and subsequent number of juveniles counted after each breeding season. Data is analysed to determine effectiveness of artificial spawning habitat for increasing handfish recruitment and results are reported to DotE and DPIPWE. Research community DPIPWE $90 000 pa year project) 1b (2) Design and implement a artificial spawning habitat program and deploy artificial spawning habitat at additional spotted handfish sites to increase the spawning success of spotted handfish. 1 Key locations for the deployment of artificial spawning habitat are identified (e.g. sites in which natural spawning substrate is found to be a limiting factor). The results of action 1b (1) are used to inform the design of a long-term program for the deployment and maintenance of artificial spawning habitat. Artificial spawning habitat is deployed at additional sites and handfish use of the additional artificial spawning habitat is assessed. The condition of artificial substrate is assessed at yearly intervals after deployment and the average longevity of substrate is determined. Research community Volunteer dive groups DPIPWE $50 000 pa (three year project for two new sites) 1b (3) Improve knowledge of spotted handfish spawning triggers. 2 Spawning triggers for spotted handfish are identified (e.g. water temperature triggers or seasonal triggers).

The Controls Assurance assessments have identified areas for improvement in the systems and processes to maintain compliance. Action plans are in place to achieve progress in 2014/15. 8.3 Corporate Risk and Assurance Report The BSO receives much of its assurance through its Corporate Risk and Assurance Report which contains the risks to the achievement of BSO Objectives, outlines the existing controls and assurances and identifies gaps in controls or assurances and outlines any necessary actions required to close these gaps. Progress on risk actions, changes to the risk profile were monitored monthly by SMT and quarterly by the BSO Board. The Corporate Risk and Assurance Report provides a structure for the Accounting Officer, the GAC and the BSO Board for acquiring and examining the evidence to support the Governance Statement 8.4 Mid-Year and Annual Governance Statements The Board evaluates it effectiveness of its risk and assurance arrangements each year through the submission of a mid-year and annual assurance statement to the DHSSPS. The mid-year statement supplements the year end Governance Statement by providing in-year assurance on the continuing robustness of the BSO system of internal governance including the identification of governance matters that have arisen. 8.5 Audit Control Process All internal and external audit reports and reviews are presented to the GAC. Management responses to the recommendations are scrutinised by the Committee. To ensure the timely implementation of actions arising from such reports the BSO implements an Audit Control Process. This involves: uploading of all audit recommendations to the Audit Reporting Tracker database; regular updates from responsible managers outlining progress made with an explanation for any delays in implementation if required; scrutiny of recommendation updates by the Director of Finance and, if necessary, a requests for remedial action; regular presentation of progress reports on recommendations to the GAC; a review of all recommendations by the Senior Management Team.
