Australian Capital Territory Consolidated Acts

CHILDREN AND YOUNG PEOPLE ACT 2008 - SECT 479

In the care and protection chapters:

"long-term parental responsibility provision" means a parental responsibility provision in a care and protection order that—

        (a)     is in force until the child or young person is 18 years old; and

        (b)     transfers daily care responsibility and long-term care responsibility for the child or young person to the director-general or another stated person, unless the order states that a particular aspect of responsibility is transferred.

Example

A parental responsibility provision that transfers daily care responsibility for a child or young person to the director-general until the child or young person is 18 years old but does not transfer long-term care responsibility to the director-general.

Note 1     The length of a care and protection order is dealt with in s 465.

Note 2     An example is part of the Act, is not exhaustive and may extend, but does not limit, the meaning of the provision in which it appears (see Legislation Act, s 126 and s 132).
