Deputy Director of the Australian Centre for Child Protection, Professor Leah
Bromfield, welcomed the reforms and the focus on therapeutic care.
We need more evidence-informed services that are designed around the needs of
children and young people, located in places that connect children to the people and
services important to them, and which offer genuine therapeutic care to aid children
to recover from abuse and neglect, she said.
Mr Hazzard said: There are good arguments to say that models that dont include
residential care are likely to give kids a better chance at life.
