Introduction
The NSW government is primarily focussed on improving the lives of children
and families that are vulnerable with better policies, laws and systems. There are
various legislations that provide a framework which governs the overall well
being of the children and providing them with protection. In Australia, the state as
well as territory governments have the responsibility of protecting children who
are either vulnerable or at risk of being harmed.

Child Protection Services
A large number of children living in Australia receive child protection from the
NSW government and the number continues to rise. The state as well as territory
governments in Australia primarily focuses on providing protection to children
who are vulnerable or at risk of being harmed. There are various studies that have
been conducted for the same and the results show that nearly 63% of children in
Australia were living out of their home care or with Indigenous caregivers (Child
protection, 2020).
