some risk of harm in the families. The report is about the child protection system in Australia
and its critical review. There are approaches and some concepts which are focus on
improving family welfares and child benefits to it for longer period of time. There is evidence
or the potential of the Indigenous children services for the children who are living in
Australia and it has main focus on health relates issues and services provided to children are
focus on their growth and giving best services with minimise costs. Many of the issues which
are associated are directly linked to experiences of child abuse and neglecting communities.
There is introduction of new approaches for community welfare that have healing structure
and provide less information about the indigenous communities (Australian Government,
2011). This is a model with wide sources of indigenous people and there is development of
efficiency supportive systems. This paper will describe the system of child welfare and the
indigenous approach which tells about the underlying causes of social and health problems.
Child Protection System
Child protection system is a system that protects young people and their families from abuse
which is caused by sexual or physical health. Child protection system are concern with
territory system of intervene when children are at risk and care for their families. Such
disputes are dealing with the law system of federal families and some are responsible for the
separated parents with care of their children. There is a involvement of family violence with
massive growth in abusing of child and child protection law in Australia that has experienced
in long past decades (Victoria State Government, 2019). Child protected system arises
in, where child is alleged from current risk and that have concerns of family violence or child
abuse. Other one is that when concerns are arisen due to treatment of child or by both parents
that separates and argue about post separation arrangements of parents (Australian Institute
of Family Studie, 2011). The Australian institute of studies has family law reforms with
history of hurt physically or emotional abuse from separated parents
Statutory child protection services are responsible for departments in community services for
every state or territory. The community provide assistance of children through referral,
provision and acceptance of wide range of services. The role of non-government agencies
departments are contracted for the family support with placement of children inside or
outside the home. Children who are in need of protection have major authorities where they
can approach directly to professional members of the organisation (Australian Bureau of
Statistics, 2019). There are some agencies for child protection who took proper care of risk
which is harming to children and these are classified as a notification. Most of the
notifications are classified and investigated through substantiated that is negligence, harm to
children or child abuse or with dependency of degree to actual harm in relation to children.
