Answer

I am advised that each shift in a Youth Justice residence is rostered with the staffing complement required to meet operational requirements. Where there are shortages due to unplanned absences, additional shifts may be offered to casual staff or through overtime arrangements, or leadership staff may fill in on the residence floor.
