Therapeutic Treatment Orders
The Victorian Royal Commission into Family Violence recommended the Victorian government amend the provision in the Children, Youth and Families Act 2005 (the Act) to extend therapeutic treatment orders to children aged 15 to 17 years.
On 19 March 2019 an information session was delivered on these amendments. Magistrate Jennifer Bowles and Lisa Rodda from the Office of Professional Practice, Department of Health and Human Services delivered this session.
