We are charged with responsibilities to review and improve the systems that protect, safeguard and support Queensland children and their families.
Our Oversight Forward Workplan 2025, in line with our Oversight Framework 2023–2027, contains the proposed future oversight work of the Commission as at March 2025.
The Workplan is deliberately agile. While we list the topics we intend to examine, they are subject to review and revision to ensure our investment is focused on the areas most likely to have the greatest positive impact on Queensland children and families at the time. The Workplan undergoes regular priority review though a consultative approach and is published on our website annually.
The Commission monitors Queensland’s child safety and youth justice systems.
Our 2023–2027 Oversight Framework detail how we perform our oversight function with transparency and objectivity.
The framework articulates the model, principles and methodologies we apply to our systemic oversight work. The framework provides an explanation of how our approach produces objective analysis to identify changes to laws, policies, programs and services that can improve outcomes for Queensland children and their families, as required under our legislation, the Family and Child Commission Act 2014. The framework makes a strong commitment to involving the community, sector and government in assisting us to design, undertake and promote our oversight work. We recognise that achieving positive change relies on the input, attention and action of our stakeholders.
Release of our oversight framework and forward workplan delivers on Objective 1 of our 2022–26 Strategic Plan.
