Child Protection Department

In reply to the Hon. S.C. MULLIGHAN (Lee) (25 August 2021).

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

While all of the Department for Child Protection efficiency targets were met in the 2018-19, 2019-20 and 2020-21 financial years, it should be noted that the department's total budget has increased over that period from $534 million to $606 million, a 13 per cent increase.
