Illustration for Children’s Act 2014

The Minister in charge must write a report each year about how well the strategy for improving children's well-being is working. You will see this report because it must be given to the House of Representatives. The Minister must also put the report on the internet so you can read it if you want to. The Minister has to finish the report within 9 months of the end of each financial year. Before the report is final, the Minister must show it to the other Ministers who help with children's issues and ask for their thoughts.
