MR GENTLEMAN (Brindabella—Manager of Government Business, Minister for Corrections, Minister for Industrial Relations and Workplace Safety, Minister for Planning and Land Management and Minister for Police and Emergency Services) (3.02): Pursuant to standing order 211, I move:
That the Assembly take note of the following papers:
A Step Up for Our Kids—Snapshot Report Update, as at May 2021.
Our Booris, Our Way—Implementation Update, dated May 2021.
MS STEPHEN-SMITH (Kurrajong—Minister for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Affairs, Minister for Families and Community Services and Minister for Health) (3.02): I am pleased to be able to present together the six-monthly progress reports of the government response to the recommendations from the Our Booris, Our Way review—six-monthly update, and A Step Up For Our Kids—out of home care strategy 2015-2020 snapshot report.
The Our Booris, Our Way final report was provided to the government in December 2019 and comprises 28 recommendations and eight sub-recommendations, a total of 36 recommendations, to inform systemic improvements to child protection systems, policies and practices in the ACT. Since the first interim recommendation was received in August 2018, we have been able to make substantial progress around a number of these recommendations. In July 2020 I provided an update on this progress when I tabled the formal government response to the Our Booris, Our Way review.
The government has made a firm commitment to fully implement the recommendations of the Our Booris, Our Way review in collaboration with the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community. The government has backed up this commitment with funding in the 2020-21 budget, bringing the overall investment to $15.7 million from 2018-19 to 2023-24.
