Queensland Consolidated Acts

CHILD PROTECTION ACT 1999 - SECT 51C

51C Children for whom case plans are required

The chief executive must ensure a case plan is developed for each child who the chief executive is satisfied—

(a) is a child in need of protection; and

(b) needs ongoing help under this Act.

Notes—

1 Ongoing help under this Act may be, for example—

• giving support services to the child and his or her family

• arranging for the child to be placed in care under a care agreement

• seeking a child protection order for the child.

2 A case plan may not be required for a particular child because another entity is working to address the child’s protection and care needs and, as part of the work, is undertaking case planning with the child and the child’s family.
