Residential Care

In reply to Ms SANDERSON (Adelaide) (28 July 2017). (Estimates Committee A)

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

Residential Care costs for 2015/16 were $74.3 million and $113 million in 2016-17. The amount spent on residential care has increased in 2016/17 as a result of increased funding for out of home care.
