Illustration for Oranga Tamariki Act 1989

The chief executive can make a contract with a community service to provide services. You might wonder what kind of services they can provide - it's the kind the chief executive thinks are necessary or desirable to carry out their job under this Act. The chief executive is doing this on behalf of the Crown, which means the government, to help them do their work as required by the Oranga Tamariki Act 1989.
