Australian Capital Territory Current Acts Australian Capital Territory Current ActsAfter receiving a family group conference agreement, the director-general must implement the arrangements in the agreement in a way that complies with the family group conference standards (if any).
Note 1 The Minister may make family group conference standards under s 887.
Note 2
The parties to a family group conference agreement may agree
that parental responsibility for a child or young person be transferred to, or
shared with, someone else (other than the director-general (see
s 76)). If the family group conference was arranged because the
director-general believed the child or young person to be in need of care and
protection, the Childrens Court may be able to register the family group
conference agreement. A registered family group conference agreement has
effect as if it were a care and protection order and may be enforced
accordingly. Registration of family group conference agreements is dealt with
in pt 12.2.
