The final report of the Inquiry (also known as "the Mullighan Report"), published in March 2008, found "that in the past 65 years the State has failed to protect some of the children in its care from sexual abuse", and its record-keeping of the 924 children who had died while in state care was manifestly inadequate. The report included 54 recommendations, intended to improve many aspects of children in care. These included amendments to the ''Children's Protection Act 1993'', various improvements to the practices of [[Families SA]], the creation of a Youth Council to directly advise the Minister for Families and Communities, and many others.<ref name=fac>{{cite web|url=https://www.findandconnect.gov.au/guide/sa/SE01149| website=Find&Connect| title=Children in State Care Commission of Inquiry (2004 - 2008)| access-date= 20 March 2022 }}</ref><ref>{{cite journal|url= http://salinkup.com.au/media/pdf/National_Link_Up_News_2005.pdf| archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20050725045754/http://salinkup.com.au/media/pdf/National_Link_Up_News_2005.pdf| archive-date=25 July 2005|title= Commission of Inquiry into Children in State Care| journal= National Link-Up News|issue=5|date= 5 April 2005}}</ref><ref name=mulrep1>{{cite report|url= https://www.childabuseroyalcommission.gov.au/sites/default/files/WEB.0198.001.0001.pdf|title= Children In State Care Commission Of Inquiry Allegations Of Sexual Abuse And Death From Criminal Conduct: Presented To The South Australian Parliament by the Hon.
