Blue Book

736 Ms BEDFORD (Florey) (26 August 2021). How is the government planning to implement and maintain a digitalised platform for the Blue Book for early child development checks?

The Hon. J.A.W. GARDNER (Morialta—Minister for Education): I have been advised of the following:

The Department for Education is currently in the scoping and planning stage of the expansion of the child development screening system in South Australia, including the appropriate data and information sharing systems to support and monitor the system.

The Australian Digital Health Agency is currently developing a proof of concept for national Child Digital Health Records (Baby Books).

The national proof of concept learnings to date will inform the planning to implement and maintain a digitalised platform for child development checks in South Australia.
