Child Protection

Ms STINSON (Badcoe) (14:47): My question is to the Minister for Child Protection. Can the minister assure the house that all foster, kinship and respite carers have received the immediate one-off $200 payment for cleaning supplies that was promised by the minister on 20 March?

The Hon. R. SANDERSON (Adelaide—Minister for Child Protection) (14:47): I thank the member for her question. As I mentioned earlier, we were the very first state to act on that. That was a per-child payment and that was for children who are under the guardianship of the CE now as it is. They should have gone out. I note on Facebook live last night that a couple of people mentioned they hadn't received their payments. I do have my department looking into that. My expectation was that they should have been received, so we will definitely follow that up and make sure that any people who are eligible should receive that as soon as possible.
