Question Directed to the: Leader of the House representing the Minister for Child Protection; Women's Interests; Prevention of Family and Domestic Violence; Community Services
Parliament: 41 Session: 1


Question

I refer to the Minister's correspondence, dated 1 February 2022 (Ref: 74-21932), in which the Minister indicated she had requested that the Department of Communities consider the recommendations from the 2012 Senate Community Affairs References Committee report on the Commonwealth Contribution to Former Forced Adoption Policies and Practices and the 2021 Inquiry into Responses to Historical Forced Adoptions in Victoria, and I ask, will the Minister please inform the House of the outcome of this review?

Answered on 9 August 2022

The Department of Communities is currently considering the recommendations of the 2012 Senate Community Affairs References Committee report on the Commonwealth Contribution to Former Forced Adoption Policies and Practices and the 2021 Inquiry into Responses to Historical Forced Adoptions in Victoria.

It is of utmost importance that people affected by these practices are supported and current and future policies and practices consider what has been learned.
