Child Protection Workers

1040 Ms STINSON (Badcoe) (3 July 2019). How many case workers positions across Department for Child Protection were available as at:

(a) 20 June 2019?

(b) 1 May 2018?

The Hon. R. SANDERSON (Adelaide—Minister for Child Protection): I have been advised:

The position of case manager is included in this response rather than case worker, as referred to in this question, to ensure consistency with other questions on notice.

Social workers and case managers refer to the following positions: social workers; case managers; senior practitioners; high-risk infant workers; and AHP supervisors.

(a) In May 2019, there were 687.7 FTE budgeted to social worker and case manager positions

(b) In May 2018, there were 659.3 FTE budgeted to social worker and case manager positions

The latest data available at the time of preparation was for May 2019.​
