Child Sex Offenders

In reply to the Hon. D.G.E. HOOD ().29 October 2024).

The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Minister for Aboriginal Affairs, Attorney-General, Minister for Industrial Relations and Public Sector, Special Minister of State): As previously announced, the public child sex offender register has been funded as part of the Digital Police Station initiative in the 2024-25 state budget.

The design and implementation of the Digital Police Station is currently being undertaken by the South Australia Police (SAPOL). I understand that there are a number of different tranches to the project owning to the complexity.

The commencement of the legislation and the availability of the public register will therefore be dependent on the timelines for the project as advised by the SAPOL project team, and the Attorney-General's Department will continue to liaise closely with SAPOL in relation to these project timelines.
