Illustration for Oranga Tamariki Act 1989

You can appeal to the High Court if you are a parent or guardian of a young person and you do not agree with a decision made by the Youth Court. You can appeal against orders made under certain sections of the Oranga Tamariki Act 1989, such as section 283(k) or (m) or (n), which is about orders made by the Youth Court. You can also appeal against orders made under section 297B(5) or section 307(4), which is about placing a young person in custody to attend a programme.

You can appeal against an intensive supervision order made under section 296G or orders made under section 283(e), section 283(f), or section 283(g), which is about paying costs or making reparation. You can also appeal against an order made under section 283(ja), which requires you to attend a parenting education programme. If you are a parent or guardian, you have the right to appeal to the High Court against these types of orders.
