Foster Carer and Kinship Carer Payments

Ms SANDERSON (Adelaide) (14:51): Supplementary: what take-up rate was used to calculate the budgeted figure, and to what time period does it relate?

The Hon. S.E. CLOSE (Port Adelaide—Minister for Education and Child Development, Minister for Higher Education and Skills) (14:51): The time period is clearly the forward estimates, because that is how the budget works. The calculation would have been done by the department on the basis of its understanding of expectation of take-up. I can see if there is any magic formula to share, but I imagine it is on the basis of judgement and experience.

Mr Knoll interjecting:

The SPEAKER: If the member for Schubert makes another utterance outside sessional orders he will be departing.
