This government has been working collaboratively with state and territory governments to ensure that all children across Australia have access to a safe and stable home. We will continue to work together towards permanency reform for the 48,000 children in out-of-home care who cannot return to their families and ensure that they have a safe, stable and loving home. Wherever possible and appropriate, children should be supported to safely remain with their family through prevention and early intervention measures. The best interests of the child must always be paramount in permanency decisions.

Question agreed to.
