South Australian Current Acts South Australian Current Acts21—Purpose of family group conferences
(1) The purpose of a
family group conference is to provide an opportunity for a
child or young person and their family, in accordance with this Part—
(a) to
make informed decisions as to the arrangements for the care of the
child or young person; and
(b) to
make voluntary arrangements for the care of the child or young person that are
consistent with sections 7 and 8, as well as this Act generally; and
(c) to
review those arrangements from time to time.
(2) To avoid doubt, a
failure to hold a family group conference does not, of itself, invalidate an
application for an order of the Court under this Act, nor any such order.
