173 The Hon. L.A. CURRAN ().3 November 2022). What percentage of children in South Australia under the care of the Minister for Child Protection have been reunified and then subsequently removed from parents in the last six months?

The Hon. C.M. SCRIVEN (Minister for Primary Industries and Regional Development, Minister for Forest Industries): The Minister for Child Protection has advised:

In South Australia, 93.0 per cent of children aged 0-16 years exited out-of-home care to a permanency arrangement, and did not return to out-of-home care; this is a measure of stability reported in the Report on Government Services 2022 (table 16A.40).
