Human Services Screening Unit

The Hon. C.M. SCRIVEN (14:32): My questions are to the Minister for Human Services, regarding worker screening. Given that the former support worker for Annie Smith was banned by Domiciliary Care, can the minister confirm that around three dozen others were also banned by Domiciliary Care? How many of these people were subsequently cleared to work with vulnerable people by the DHS screening unit? Does the minister have any idea whether these people are currently working in support worker roles?

The Hon. J.M.A. LENSINK (Minister for Human Services) (14:33): If I heard the honourable member correctly, I think she said that there were three dozen people banned by Domiciliary Care. Domiciliary Care is not a service run by the South Australian government, so the basis of her question is actually factually incorrect.
