South Australian Parliament should be recalled so recommendations from the Child Protection Systems Royal Commission can be implemented as soon as possible, the State Opposition says.

The final report by Commissioner Margaret Nyland contains 260 recommendations and is 850 pages long, Child Protection Reform Minister John Rau revealed today.

It was delivered to Governor Hieu Van Le at Government House on Friday afternoon, but the contents will not be made public until after a State Cabinet meeting on Monday.

Opposition Leader Steven Marshall said the document could not be properly scrutinised because Parliament had risen for the winter break.

He said it should be recalled so that legislative changes prompted by the report are not delayed.
