Services for Children with Harmful Sexual Behaviours Listening Report
The ACT Government is committed to keeping children and young people safe and protected from harm, and to advocate for the importance of the rights of children and young people.
This commitment was formalised in our response to the recommendations from the Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse.
