South Australia Carers Register Update

Overview

The Australian Government is inviting an organisation via a one-off ad hoc process to apply to deliver services under the Families and Communities Program in 2024–25. The purpose of the grant is to enable the South Australian (SA) Department for Child Protection to establish an updated carers register in line with recommendations from the Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse. This grant will enable the Department for Child Protection to establish a centralised carers register for all carer interactions in SA. The upgraded carers register will also enable the Department for Child Protection to share the register securely with other permitted prescribed bodies, and allow carers to have self-service access to maintain their personal details. More information about the Families and Communities Program, as well as requirements for applicants can be found in the Grant Opportunity Guidelines.
