We have modified the licensing process for Children’s Residential Facilities in South Australia to comply with SA Health advice in response to COVID-19.

This interim process reduces the need to undertake physical assessments where safe to do so, with an aim to support safe physical distancing practices. This is different to the current licensing process which requires an onsite inspection of the facility. It is anticipated that this process will remain in place whilst a state of emergency has been declared by the South Australian Government.

A guideline to the interim inspection process has been published on the DCP licensing page and is now available for download.
