Tools for change

Delegated Authority is a transformational reform in Queensland, promoting self-determination and the safe care and connection of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children with their families, kin, communities and culture. Delegated Authority enables statutory child protection decision-making about individual children and families to be made by Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander leaders in community. It has commenced in Queensland with delegations to the community controlled sector being in place for over 100 children and young people and implementation planning is underway for its expansion across the state.

This page will be regularly updated with information about the roll out of Delegated Authority across Queensland.
