House of Assembly Fifty-Fourth Parliament, First Session (54-1) 54 1 Parliament of South Australia House of Assembly published Personal Explanation Personal Explanation Child Protection Child Protection The Hon. R. SANDERSON House of Assembly Adelaide Minister for Child Protection The Hon. R. SANDERSON (Adelaide—Minister for Child Protection) (15:40): I seek leave to make a personal explanation. Leave granted. The Hon. R. SANDERSON House of Assembly The Hon. R. SANDERSON: On 16 May 2019, I was asked a question in this house, and I quote: Is the minister outsourcing the assessment of foster or kinship carers to a Victorian company, Assessments Australia, or any other private or non-government organisations? I replied, 'No.' I believe this answer to be accurate because these care assessments were outsourced a number of years ago. In 2017, the member for Port Adelaide in the previous Labor government, as the minister for education and child development, committed this outsourcing to Assessments Australia. Neither I nor the government have taken any steps to change this arrangement.
