Employing more frontline child safety staff

The Hodgman Liberal Government is investing significantly to redesign the Child Safety System through Strong Families, Safe Kids, employing more staff, and assisting vulnerable children with very complex needs in out-of-home care.

A key component of the redesign is prevention and to strengthen the capability of our child safety workers, with better structures and support for our workforce.

Two new positions were advertised today for court coordinators in Child Safety Services, in the Department of Communities Tasmania.

This is part of a broader recruitment to employ more child safety officers and support at the front line will increase our ability to ensure that children and families get the response they need, when they need it.
