Fundamental to the ACT Government’s response is a commitment to develop change with those who will be affected, to ensure our implementation of the Royal Commission’s recommendations is tailor-made for the ACT. Over the coming months and years, the ACT Government will need to consult regularly with children and families, community organisations, expert stakeholders and industry bodies. Find out how you can have your say.
The ACT Government has been implementing recommendations from the Royal Commission since the first reports were issued in 2015. This timeline sets out the work that has been completed, the work that is currently underway and the next steps we’ll be taking to improve the culture of safety for children in the ACT.
The work of the Royal Commission and the ACT Government’s response may bring up strong feelings and questions. Be assured you are not alone, and that there are many services and support groups available to assist. Some options for advice and support include 1800 Respect, Lifeline on 13 11 14 and the National Redress Information Line on 1800 737 377.
