Mission Australia welcomes the clear and early commitment from the Commonwealth Government to work with the State and Territory governments, the non-government sector and other stakeholders, on a National Framework for Protecting Australias Children. We support the naming of the framework as Protecting Australias Children rather than the more limited Child Protection Framework and the nuances that this broader naming suggests. We would also urge that the final framework include explicit acknowledgement of the diversity of sectors and organisations actively involved in contributing to the wellbeing of Australias children.
