          <by role="member" id="4340">Ms SANDERSON (Adelaide) (14:44):</by>  My question is to the Minister for Education and Child Development. What is the average response time for Families SA to investigate a report to the Child Abuse Report Line that is assessed as a tier 2, the average time?</text>

          <by role="member" id="614">The Hon. J.M. RANKINE (Wright—Minister for Education and Child Development) (14:45):</by>  I am happy to take that question on notice, but can I make the point that not all tier 2s are investigated. We have something like 55,000 calls to the Child Abuse Report Line each year. That results in something like 19,000 or 20,000 screened-in notifications. It is just impossible for any system to be able to investigate all those cases. They are assessed by trained social workers and prioritised.</text>
