Disability Services

The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Leader of the Opposition) (14:29): My question is to the Minister for Human Services regarding disability services. Can the minister assure the chamber that there are no unscreened disability careworkers providing disability services in South Australia? Are there any penalties for a company that has unscreened workers providing such disability care services?

The Hon. J.M.A. LENSINK (Minister for Human Services) (14:30): The records of employees are held by the organisations themselves and the Quality and Safeguards Commission is responsible for regulating those records, and the penalties lie with the federal agency for people not being screened.
