Safe and Supported Action Plans

Safe and Supported will be delivered through 2 sets of Action Plans. The first Action Plans were launched on 31 January 2023, and will be delivered between 2023 and 2026.

The Action Plans represent a commitment from all Australian governments to build stronger futures for children.

The First Action Plan addresses the needs of all Australian children. It focuses on children and families who are experiencing disadvantage and/or are vulnerable. It was developed in consultation with the National Coalition on Child Safety and Wellbeing.

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander First Action Plan

The Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander First Action Plan will focus on achieving safety and wellbeing outcomes for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children. It sets out actions and activities to address the over-representation of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children in child protection systems. The Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander First Action Plan was developed in partnership with the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Leadership Group.

Both Action Plans aim to protect children and young people from harm and neglect. The voices of children, young people and families will be central to implementing the first Action Plans.
