Child Protection

Mr TEAGUE (Heysen) (14:55): Supplementary, in light of the minister's answer: of that 37 per cent, how many are new to the department and how many of them have already had previous contact?

The Hon. K.A. HILDYARD (Reynell—Minister for Child Protection, Minister for Women and the Prevention of Domestic and Family Violence, Minister for Recreation, Sport and Racing) (14:55): As I said, I am not going to go into the details of individual families or individual children, but what I can say again is that in that 37 per cent figure, as at 29 November—and I am receiving very regular updates; I have sought those updates on an extremely regular basis—37 per cent of the assessments have been completed in their entirety across the entire group of families. Of course, as we have spoken about publicly before, a number of those children and families were in the purview of the department.
