Disability Services

The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Leader of the Opposition) (15:16): Supplementary arising from the answer: very simply, minister, does your department provide the Quality and Safeguards Commission with a list of all people in South Australia who have received clearance to provide disability services?

The Hon. J.M.A. LENSINK (Minister for Human Services) (15:16): I have explained previously that the way the regulation flows is that it is the responsibility of organisations to ensure that their workers or volunteers who work with disability have the relevant disability screening check. The Quality and Safeguards Commission has oversight of that role, and there are penalties for organisations that do not undertake that.
