Child Protection

In reply to Ms SANDERSON (Adelaide) (24 July 2015). (Estimates Committee B)

The Hon. S.E. CLOSE (Port Adelaide—Minister for Education and Child Development, Minister for the Public Sector): I have been advised of the following:

In 2014-15 there were Other Person Guardianship (OPG) orders granted for nine children.

Recognising the importance of OPG, the government is investing more than $1.6 million over the next four years to increase the number of orders granted.
