Event overview

What is this event about?

The number of children receiving child protection services in Australia has continued to rise over the last 5 years. Numerous inquiries have concluded that failures in child protection services’ timely responses are due to many factors such as, demand at the front end of child protection services, families receiving too little too late in the form of intervention and a rising population of children in care coupled with lack of suitable placements.

There are too many children that are not growing up safe and supported due to the child protection systems being overloaded. There are many opportunities to change the trajectory for these vulnerable children.

Third Sector’s 6th National Child Protection Forum 2023 will focus on supporting and empowering children to have a voice in the delivery of services. This forum will accelerate the implementation of existing commitments made to children and advocate discussion between government, community services, legal and justice systems to provide strong policy and implementation of service delivery on protecting Australia’s children.

Attend this forum and learn how to:

Empower children and young people to collaborate and deliver services
Demonstrate the benefits of collective action in achieving clear positive outcomes for children
Develop a strategy to accelerate the implementation of existing commitments related to children
Support children and young people that have experienced trauma
Improve the cultural competency within child protection bodies to better engage with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people

What our clients say

It was a very good! It covered a broad range of topics of interest to people with detailed knowledge and practice and those with interest in systemic approaches and improvements to those systems.

I appreciated hearing about different programmes and perspectives from across the country. The conference provided a great deal of food for thought that I intend to share within my own organisation.

Some of the more prominent political and government representatives presented. The conference was well coordinated throughout the week. Thank you for welcoming the group to country so well.
