The ACT Government’s response to the Royal Commission puts community engagement at its centre.
Our Guiding Principles state that Government and the community should work together to protect children and young people and support their full development.
As the ACT Government continues to implement the Royal Commission’s recommendations, we are committed to developing change with those who will be affected to ensure we get the best fit for the ACT.

The ACT Government will need to consult regularly with children and families, community organisations, expert stakeholders and industry bodies as we work to implement more of the Royal Commission’s recommendations over the coming months and years. Bookmark the ACT Government’s Royal Commission consultation page, register for updates and help develop the change we’ll undertake to enhance a culture of safety for children in our community.
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.
