Best interest of the child

Home > About > Our Guiding Principles > Best interest of the child

 

Our children have the right to be heard, to be nurtured and safe.

Children have the right to the best life opportunities including access to education, healthcare and the chance to develop social and emotional wellbeing.

Aboriginal children have the right to their Aboriginal identity.

Wherever possible we believe that families offer the best environment for raising children.
