          <by role="member" id="2742">The Hon. J.M.A. LENSINK (Minister for Human Services) (14:58):</by>  I haven't had any direct discussions myself with the police commissioner. I know that the Office for Women has had regular contact with the relevant senior officers in SAPOL in relation to that. Of course, in terms of known perpetrators, we've got the disclosure scheme, which enables people who are concerned about someone who is in a relationship, or they themselves may be in a relationship and they want to check on someone's history, to see whether there are red flags.</text>
        <text id="202004087ce69ab391b74663a0000468">We've also got an app, which is very useful in these particular times of isolation, which enables women who have been assessed through the specialised front-line services to be at higher risk to contact the police very quickly. I will double-check with the Office for Women about what feedback they have had from SAPOL in relation to that specific question.</text>
