NSW Government state care: Minister calls on residential children’s centres to lift their game – ABC News
23 September 2016
After a year of defending residential out-of-home care services for children, New South Wales Minister for Family and Community Services Brad Hazzard has told them to lift their game.
Mr Hazzard has sent the providers a strongly worded letter foreshadowing changes.
The move follows a recent coronial inquest into the death of a 15-year-old girl who died of a drug overdose after she was allegedly raped while in state care.
