Keeping our children safe is both rewarding and challenging. It requires a coordinated, whole-of-government approach, forged through strong partnerships across government agencies and with the non-government sector to provide vulnerable children with the support they need to be safe, well and thrive.

In doing so, they provide a unique opportunity to integrate research, policy and practice. Information on these pages has been archived for reference purposes.
