Family-Based Carers

766 Ms STINSON (Badcoe) (14 May 2019). What is the average turnaround time between a family-based carer registering to access carer payments and when carer payments are approved as at 30 March 2019?

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

Applications for the Stability in Family-Based Placement Program are prioritised according to how close a young person is to turning 18. This ensures all applications are processed in a timely manner, ensuring the young person maintains a sense of continuity and stability within their currently family-based placement.
