Early Childhood Development

In reply to Dr CLOSE (Port Adelaide—Deputy Leader of the Opposition) (25 July 2019). (Estimates Committee B)

The Hon. J.A.W. GARDNER (Morialta—Minister for Education): I am advised of the following:

The 2019-20 salaries and goods and services budget transferred to the Department of Human Services (DHS) for child wellbeing practitioners is $8.474 million. Of the 231.3 FTE transferred to DHS, 134.4 FTE are related to the early childhood program. The 199.8 FTE within the agency statement is the 2017-18 actual, and does not relate to the budget transferred to DHS given the arrangements began 1 July 2019.
