Minister Butler's office correspondence from October 2024 discusses an urgent request for a briefing on the Illawarra Women's Health Centre following media reports of bullying allegations from whistleblowers. Alison Byrnes MP requested that the Department of Health provide information about the government's response to the allegations, given the government's funding of the service. The Minister's office sought a departmental brief to be prepared by Monday and arranged for follow-up discussion with Byrnes' office while the Minister was on leave. The documents do not contain substantive departmental responses or details about the specific allegations, funding arrangements, or subsequent government action regarding the Illawarra Women's Health Centre.
