In this video/podcast Director of Kinship Carers Victoria, Anne McLeish, and lawyer Fleur Ward talk about the complex and vexed issue of family reunification for carer families.
They speak in detail about the reunification provisions in the Children, Youth and Families Act (Vic) and how the current one-size-fits-all foundation of these provisions could mean that they are not serving their intended purpose. The rights of carers to access information contained in children’s court orders is also clarified.

I was a kinship carer in March 21 until December 22. I cannot understand how the department made their decision to place the children with their father on a reunification order and then on a preservation order for six months , as he was a perpetrator of domestic violence in 2020 which these two children witness .
