Child Protection, Baby Removals

In reply to the Hon. L.A. HENDERSON ().5 February 2025).

The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Minister for Aboriginal Affairs, Attorney-General, Minister for Industrial Relations and Public Sector, Special Minister of State): The Minister for Child Protection has advised:

It is my expectation that removals of children are undertaken in a way that is compassionate and affords dignity and respect. The government is constantly working to help ensure the best possible processes and practice are undertaken as we continue our comprehensive work to improve the child protection and family support system. In a Budget and Finance Committee hearing the chief executive addressed this matter. I support the chief executive's position.
