Disability Services

The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Leader of the Opposition) (14:55): Supplementary arising from the original answer: how is the minister going to measure success and measure outcomes for clients as a result of her privatisation?

The Hon. J.M.A. LENSINK (Minister for Human Services) (14:55): I, again, reject the word 'privatisation'. But that aside, the outcome will be that we meet these three principles that I have discussed. That would be the gold standard of the outcomes which would be continuity in quality client services and supporting client choice, retention of skilled and experienced employees in the disability sector and growth of the local South Australian non-government sector. Those are three things. If we can do those in concert, I will be very happy but I appreciate that this is a long journey and we are at the beginning, and we are going to be consulting very thoroughly as we go forward.
