Carer Registration

In reply to Ms SANDERSON (Adelaide) (3 November 2016).

The Hon. S.E. CLOSE (Port Adelaide—Minister for Education and Child Development, Minister for Higher Education and Skills): I have been advised:

There are currently 59 active care concern investigations.

All of the 123 reviews that were reported as being in progress have been sent to Carer Registration and finalised. The introduction, in this financial year, of more stringent quality assurance processes and increased staffing in Carer Registration will help to ensure timely submission and processing of annual carer reviews.
