Sixteen focus groups were also conducted across New South Wales, Victoria, Tasmania, South Australia and Western Australia. Focus groups were held with public and private employers, white and blue collar employees, mothers, fathers, and primary school aged children. In order to preserve the anonymity of participants, we have not listed details of these focus groups such as dates or the organisations that hosted these groups.
