About us Print Version

Child, Youth and Family is the government agency that has legal powers to intervene to protect and help children who are being abused or neglected or who have problem behaviour.

We work with the Police and the Courts in dealing with young offenders under the youth justice system. We provide residential and care services for children in need of care and protection and for young offenders.

Our adoption information services units assess people who wish to adopt children and report to the Family Court on adoption applications. We also facilitate the exchange of identifying information for parties to past adoptions.

Our contracting group funds community organisations working with children, young people and their families to support the community’s role in protecting and helping children.
