The Department of Social Services, working with SNAICC – National Voice for our Children and Families Australia, sought targeted written feedback to support development of the two Safe and Supported Second Action Plans.

  • National Second Action Plan
  • Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Second Action Plan.

The Second Action Plans will guide national action from 2027 to 2031 under Safe and Supported: The National Framework for Protecting Australia’s Children 2021-2031.

This targeted validation consultation process built on the consultation already undertaken and was focused on testing proposed priorities, validating what has been heard, and identifying any remaining evidence gaps.
