Children in Care, Immunisation

902 Ms STINSON (Badcoe) (2 July 2019). Does the Department for Child Protection provide a history of immunisations to a carer when a child or young person enters their care?

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

DCP practice guidance recommends departmental staff, where possible, provide carers with all relevant details of a child's or young person's medical history, including any information about allergies and allergic reactions to previous vaccinations, prior to an immunisation. DCP's Lead Practitioner reinforced this guidance in an all-staff email on 3 June 2019.
