Sanitary Products in Schools

In reply to the Hon. C. BONAROS (11 September 2019).

The Hon. R.I. LUCAS (Treasurer): The Minister for Education has advised the following:

In most schools it is common practice to have sanitary items available for students in emergencies. The Department for Education is not currently considering funding the provision of sanitary items in South Australian government schools.

The department has information available for schools which provides awareness of menstrual management and access to resources and learning tools.
