 Child Protection
The Department was created as a result of the Government’s response to the report of the Ford Review, the independent review of the old Department for Community Development. The report provided the basis for the biggest overhaul of child protection operations in Western Australia’s history.
The Department’s major focus is on meeting the needs of vulnerable children and families. It is responsible for protection and caring for children and of supporting people at risk of crisis.
The creation of the Department reflects the Western Australian community’s commitment to protecting children.
