Child Protection Workers

1030 Ms STINSON (Badcoe) (3 July 2019). How many case managers have been employed by Department for Child Protection who hold a qualification at AQF diploma levels 5 and 6 have been employed since 1 May 2018?

The Hon. R. SANDERSON (Adelaide—Minister for Child Protection): I have been advised:

All case managers require a degree in a professional discipline, so as to be eligible for employment as a Professional Officer, as outlined in the South Australian Modern Public Sector Enterprise Agreement—Salaried 2017, in a discipline outlined in the Commissioner's Determination 5. All case managers employed under the PO stream hold or exceed the designated minimum qualification for their role.
