Family-Based Carers

765 Ms STINSON (Badcoe) (14 May 2019). How many family-based carers have registered to access carer payments and are awaiting approval as at 30 March 2019?

The Hon. R. SANDERSON (Adelaide—Minister for Child Protection): I have been advised:

The Stability in Family-Based Care Program currently has five applications for family-based carers who have registered to access carer payments post 18 years of age for the young person who is in their care, and which are awaiting approval as at 30 March 2019.

Four of these five applications have been fully assessed and are awaiting the young people's 18th birthdays, while the fifth was being assessed as at 30 March 2019.
