Children, Young Persons, and Their Families (Advocacy, Workforce, and Age Settings) Amendment Bill

Bills are proposals to make a new law or to change an existing one. Only Parliament can pass a bill. Each bill goes through several stages, giving MPs and the public the chance to have their say.

This bill extends State responsibility for the care and protection of vulnerable young persons, ensures that vulnerable children and young persons are able to have their views considered as part of decision making and the development of departmental services and policy, and enables enhanced access to appropriate specialist skills and expertise to respond to the needs of vulnerable children and young persons.
