In reply to the Hon. T.A. FRANKS (25 August 2021).

The Hon. J.M.A. LENSINK (Minister for Human Services): I have been advised:

The Safety and Wellbeing Taskforce has been working closely with several communities, including remote Aboriginal communities across the APY lands and the Northern Territory, and local Kaurna elders and community members, including:

APY Executive Board.

Kaurna Yerta Aboriginal Corporation.

Iwiri Aboriginal Corporation.

City of Adelaide Reconciliation Committee.

APY Art Centre Collective.

The taskforce has the support of Aboriginal elders from the affected communities, notably Kaurna and Anangu, who have been involved with the taskforce following its establishment.

This support was highlighted during the recent engagement with the City of Adelaide Reconciliation Committee when elders publicly endorsed the approach to date. Elders commended the work of the taskforce and offered their continued support.
