Auditor-General's Report

In reply to Mrs HURN (Schubert) (1 November 2023).

The Hon. C.J. PICTON (Kaurna—Minister for Health and Wellbeing): I have been advised:

A prescribed position is defined in section 5 of the Child Safety (Prohibited Persons) Act 2016 as meaning:

(a) a position in which a person works, or is likely to work, with children; or

(b) any other position, or a position of a class, prescribed by the regulations for the purposes of this definition.

For an LHN such as CALHN, who provide primarily adult services, this requires an assessment of the extent to which each position in the LHN undertakes, or is likely to undertake, child-related work as further defined within the act.
