About Ministerial inquiries
The Minister for Children may recommend that we conduct an inquiry into:
- the safety or wellbeing of an individual or group of vulnerable children or young people
- services provided not provided by child protection services, youth justice services, a community service, health service, human service, or a school.
These inquiries are described in sections 38 and 40 of the Commission for Children and Young People Act 2012.
