On Friday 12th December 2025, we were pleased to be invited by The Hon. Katrine Hildyard to attend Parliament of South Australia to formally sign the Ministerial Peak Forum Charter.
The Ministerial Peak Forum is a solutions-focused consultative group with the Minister for Child Protection and holds the safety and wellbeing of all children of young people in care at the centre of all discussions and decisions.
As the South Australian peak body representing the needs and interests of children, young people and families, particularly those connected with or at risk of entering the child protection system, and the NGOs and ACCOs that support them, we are proud to walk alongside representatives from Wakwakurna Kanyini, The Reily Foundation, Create Foundation, Connecting Foster and Kinship Carers SA and the Department for Child Protection SA.
Together we represent a collective commitment to improving outcomes for children, young people and families.
This partnership reflects a shared determination to work differently, strengthen the system, and create lasting positive change.
