Children in Care, Immunisation

904 Ms STINSON (Badcoe) (18 June 2019). Are foster or kinship carers required to notify the Department for Child Protection when a child or young person in their care receives a vaccination?

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

DCP case workers record immunisation details in case files where this information is known. Caseworkers, through their working relationships with carers and children and young people, endeavour to keep detailed case records, particularly on important medical matters such as immunisation schedules.
