The National Framework for Protecting Australia’s Children 2009–20 (the National Framework) outlines national goals for Australia’s child protection system. The National Framework is a long-term program of change promoting a unified approach to child protection in Australia.
It shifts the focus of ‘protecting children’ from a statutory response to abuse and neglect to a more holistic view, where the safety and wellbeing of children is the collective responsibility of families, communities and governments. Australia’s progress on the National Framework is measured against a series of outcomes and performance indicators that support the high-level goal of ensuring ‘Australia’s children and young people are safe and well’.
