Chloe Valentine's Legacy in Jeopardy | Adelaide News

Two major unions are rallying against South Australia’s sudden reversal on a long-awaited social worker registration scheme, a reform originally recommended after the tragic death of 14-year-old Chloe Valentine in 2015. The government, led by Minister Rolls, scrapped the plan citing cost concerns and lack of consensus — but critics call it a shocking betrayal, especially to Chloe’s family, who say a decade later, no formal registration still exists. The Health Services Union slammed the move as “handled terribly,” while the SA Liberals launched a petition demanding reversal, accusing the government of a “sneaky” announcement that ignored key stakeholders. With millions already invested, the decision has ignited outrage over accountability and the future of social work in the state.
