Child Protection Screening

Dr McFETRIDGE (Morphett) (14:41): I have a supplementary. Can the minister tell the house whether any groups have been threatened with having their contracts with the Department for Communities and Social Inclusion withdrawn if they do not have their police checks undertaken by the Department for Communities and Social Inclusion?

The Hon. Z.L. BETTISON (Ramsay—Minister for Communities and Social Inclusion, Minister for Social Housing, Minister for Multicultural Affairs, Minister for Ageing, Minister for Youth, Minister for Volunteers) (14:41): It is my understanding that it is often a contractual obligation of non-government organisations and many stakeholders that we have agreements with that they use the DCSI screening system.
