Child Protection

 
Protecting children and young people from abuse and neglect is the responsibility of the whole community.

NSW Health has a key role to play in the protection of children and young people. We provide a comprehensive range of services that enhance the health and well being of children, young people and their families and caregivers, and help to reduce the occurrence of abuse and neglect and its impact when it does occur.
