The trend in child protection and adoption laws appears to favour stability of attachment between a child and their carer. This may marginalise Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander child rearing approaches and the importance of cultural attachments for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children. The recent changes to the Children and Young Persons (Care and Protection) Act 1998 (NSW) in 2022 are seeking to address the disproportionate removal of Indigenous children to out-of-home care. Are these changes to the law sufficient to shift the trend? Consider what other reforms may be needed.
