Question Time

Puti on Kaurna Yerta Report

Mr TELFER (Flinders) (14:19): My question is to the Minister for Human Services. Has the minister been briefed on the Puti on Kaurna Yerta report and, if so, has the minister taken action to continue this initiative?

The Hon. N.F. COOK (Hurtle Vale—Minister for Human Services) (14:19): Thank you very much for the question. Yes, I have, and since coming to government we have ensured that the task force and the remote visitor outreach team have continued, and not only continued within Adelaide but we have extended that into Port Augusta. The member would be aware—and I think we have had a conversation about that work and how important it is to continue to be responsive when there are particular issues that arise.

We are continuing to work across government with a range of stakeholders as well in the not-for-profit community, also with Aboriginal leaders within the community to respond to need as it arises, to be able to adapt to what is required.
