Families SA Internal Audit

Mr MARSHALL (Dunstan—Leader of the Opposition) (14:17): My question is to the Minister for Education and Child Development. Given the audit of 500 Families SA residential staff found 102 with concerns, will the government extend its audit to all of Families SA's 2,000 staff?

The Hon. J.M. RANKINE (Wright—Minister for Education and Child Development) (14:17): To start with, we don't have all of Families SA staff providing one-on-one care for children, but all of our staff are required to undergo DCSI screening and criminal history checks, and those checks are renewed—

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: The member for Hartley is warned and so is the deputy leader.

The Hon. J.M. RANKINE: —every three years.
