Progress in reforming the Queensland child protection system

Two-year report to the Crime and Misconduct Commission

On 6 January 2006, the Queensland Government released a comprehensive report detailing sweeping improvements to Queensland's child protection system.

The report, Progress in reforming the Queensland child protection system (PDF, 761 KB), details the major achievements and changes flowing from the Crime and Misconduct Commission's (CMC) report in January 2004.

The report, which meets the CMC's two-year reporting requirement, shows that 89 of 110 recommendations for reforming the state's child protection system have been completed and significant progress has been made on implementing the remaining 21.

The report also details the performance of the Department of Child Safety - the government's lead child protection agency - since its formation in September 2004.

A fact sheet about progress in reforming the Queensland child protection system (PDF, 48 KB) is also available.
