Residential Care Workers, Psychological Testing

Ms STINSON (Badcoe) (14:29): My question is to the Minister for Child Protection. Will the minister commit to informing other government agencies of people who fail the mandatory psychological testing for residential care facilities? With your leave and with that of the house, I will explain, sir.

Leave granted.

Ms STINSON: On ABC 891 this morning, PsychCheck director Luke Broomhall stated that in the last 12 months his company alone has found that 74 people, or 2 per cent of the residential care workforce, failed the mandatory psychological testing.

The Hon. R. SANDERSON (Adelaide—Minister for Child Protection) (14:29): Obviously, I'm not going to be making policy on the run, as the former government did. There are plenty of statements—

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order!

The Hon. R. SANDERSON: —that Labor made that never came to fruition. One would be the combining of the three different offices to form one: that never happened and was not funded or budgeted for. What I can say is that this government is reviewing the safeguarding of all our children and looking at the procedures as a result of the very, very sad case of Ann Marie. We are all looking at the way that we share information, and that is continuing.

Ms Stinson interjecting:

The SPEAKER: The member for Badcoe is called to order. I am going to allow one more on my left and then we will switch.
