In reply to Mr GARDNER (Morialta) (22 June 2012).

The Hon. G. PORTOLESI (Hartley—Minister for Education and Child Development): I am advised:

In 2010-11 the Families SA Child Abuse Report Line received 35,431 child protection notifications. Of those notifications 21,145 were assessed as requiring further action by the Department for Education and Child Development (DECD), through Families SA, or through other relevant agencies.

For that same year, the number of notifications received through e-CARL was 136.

In 2011-12 the Families SA Child Abuse Report Line received an estimated 37,879 child protection notifications. Of those notifications, an estimated 22,100 were assessed as requiring further action by Families SA.
