A protection order is made when there is an application in the Children's Court for children to be brought under the protection and care of the state government. In the event the Department of Communities (“DC”), formerly the Department for Child Protection and Family Support, makes an Application for a Protection Order for your child, whether it be a Supervision Order or Time Limited Order, you should obtain legal advice.
Our professional team of Perth Family Lawyers can help.
We will:
- Advise how child protection concerns are investigated.
- What happens in protection and care applications in the Children's Court.
- What protection orders the court can make.
- How parents can tell their story to the court in a Response.
- How grandparents and other significant others can have a say, and
- What happens after a final order is made placing a child in the care of Child Protection.
