The Guardian for Children and Young People provides an advocacy service, and her staff (known as ‘Advocates’) are always there to take calls from and about children and young people living in care.

Today we commemorate an event very close to my heart, National Sorry Day. As an Eastern Arrernte woman, as a mother, and as Guardian for Children and Young People, it means a lot to have the opportunity to share my reflections on the origins of this day and how our nation can learn from the past, to create better futures for First Nations children and young people.

We extend a big welcome to our two new team members, Alicia Smith and Steve Goss. Alicia is our Senior Policy Officer while Steve will head up the newly-created Youth Treatment Orders Visitor role.
