When there is a realistic possibility of child/ren being restored to their birth parent/s, we work with birth parents.
The child/ren’s best interest are at the centre of this work and all decisions are made to establish a permanent and stable home environment. A priority of the Department of Communities and Justice (formerly Family and Community Services) is keeping children safely together with their families wherever possible.
Our team works with birth parent/s around the dangers identified in their home environment that led to the child/ren being removed. Child/ren are only reunited with their birth parent/s when it is best for their long-term safety, welfare and wellbeing.
