The Child Safety Commissioner
The Office of the Child Safety Commissioner is an organisation that
makes children a priority. The Commissioner provides advice to both the Minister
for Community Services and the Minister for Children on issues impacting on the lives of children, in particular
vulnerable children. This is achieved through listening to children, advocating
on their behalf, being impartial, leading on child-safe practices, acting
with integrity, and being held accountable.
