Department of Human Services

In reply to Mr TELFER (Flinders) (24 June 2024). (Estimates Committee B)

The Hon. N.F. COOK (Hurtle Vale—Minister for Human Services, Minister for Seniors and Ageing Well): I have been advised:

Guided by a strong evidence base, DHS funds a range of programs and initiatives to improve the wellbeing of Port Augusta's young people, particularly those experiencing disadvantage and marginalisation.

The total DHS budget for youth programs and services in Port Augusta in 2023-24 was $1,380,096.

DHS does not hold information on the total funding for commonwealth government programs and services to support young people in Port Augusta.
