The Advocate is required to focus on systemic issues and does not have the function under our legislation to deal directly with complaints or concerns of particular children or young people.

However, our office can provide children, young people and their families, friends and advocates with information about and referral to government and non-government programs and services. It is important for us to hear your enquiries as this assists us with determining if there may be systemic issues that should be examined given our legislation and as part of our advocacy work.

Please allow us two weeks to respond to you.
