Foster Carer and Kinship Carer Payments

Ms SANDERSON (Adelaide) (15:22): My question is to the Minister for Education and Child Development. Will the minister adopt the Liberal Party's policy to extend foster and kinship carer payments to 21 years of age as recommended by the Nyland royal commission and the CREATE Foundation?

The Hon. S.E. CLOSE (Port Adelaide—Minister for Education and Child Development, Minister for Higher Education and Skills) (15:22): I believe we have discussed before that a number of policy changes may arise from the Nyland royal commission and that we are in the process of finalising the government's response. In due course, that will come out.
