POST CARE SERVICES

The Hon. S.W. KEY (Ashford) (14:28): My question is to the Minister for Education and Child Development. Minister, can you inform the house about what the state government is doing to support care leavers through the Post Care Services?

The Hon. G. PORTOLESI (Hartley—Minister for Education and Child Development) (14:28): Yes, I am very pleased to report on this initiative, on this unexpected question. I announced very recently, in follow-up to one of the Mullighan recommendations, that we had outsourced the care that government provides for people leaving care and who have left care. That has now been outsourced to Relationships Australia (RASA). This is a very important commitment that we make and that we certainly made in the context of the Mullighan recommendations. I wish RASA and their clients all the very best.
