The Queensland Child and Family Commission (The Commission) works collaboratively with government and non-government partners, including families and communities to help ensure young Queenslanders grow up in safe and inclusive environments where they are valued and supported to reach their full potential. Our role is to respect, advocate for and protect the rights of children and young people’s well-being and safety by calling for improvements to the services and systems that support them. This means we keep a pulse on the needs, hopes and dreams of young Queenslanders and maintain a check on the child protection system. The Commission was established on 1 July 2014 under the Family and Child Commission Act 2014 (Qld). GUIDELINES:
