Exceptional Resource Funding

917 Ms STINSON (Badcoe) (18 June 2019). Why did the Department for Child Protection withhold information from applicants that as of 27 September 2018 that the Exceptional Resource Funding Procedure had been placed under review and that applications would not be approved?

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

DCP reviewed the Exceptional Resource Funding procedure in accordance with Treasurer's Instruction 2.

Specifically, this review aimed to provide clarity about how Exceptional Resource Funding is allocated.

DCP continued to assess requests for funding on a case-by-case basis throughout the review process. For example, car rental was supported, as was assistance with accommodation where this related directly to the needs of children.
