AnswerView source ↗
I thank the member for some notice of the question.
The Department for Child Protection and Family Support has
addressed the one-off reduction in 2012–13 by deferring non-critical
property maintenance as well as deferring planned enhancements to ASSIST, the
department's client management system, which contains all client
information and case management approvals, and manages payments to carers. The
notional allocation of the $1.217 million reduction across the department's
services is: a $580 000 reduction to supporting children and young people in
the chief executive officer's care; a $400 000 reduction to protecting
children and young people from abuse and harm; and a $237 000 reduction to
supporting individuals and families at risk or in crisis.
