Making access applications for children
25 Making access applications for children
(1) Without limiting the ability of persons to make applications for children,
an access application may be made for a child by the child’s parent.
Notes— 1 Section 190 clarifies the powers of those acting for others.
2
For an application made for a child, the child (and not the parent) is the
applicant—see schedule 5 , definition applicant . This may be particularly
relevant for section 66 (Applicant under financial hardship).
(2) In this
section—
"child" means an individual who is under 18 years.
"parent" — 1 Parent, of a child, is any of the following persons— (a) the
child’s mother;
(b) the child’s father;
(c) a person who exercises
parental responsibility for the child, including a person who is granted
guardianship of the child under the Child Protection Act 1999 or who otherwise
exercises parental responsibility for the child under a decision or order of a
federal court or a court of a State.
2 However, a person standing in the
place of a parent of a child on a temporary basis is not a parent of the
child.
3 A parent of an Aboriginal child includes a person who, under
Aboriginal tradition, is regarded as a parent of the child.
4 A parent of a
Torres Strait Islander child includes a person who, under Island custom, is
regarded as a parent of the child.
