Welcome to the Commissioner for Children, Tasmania website
The Commissioner for Children is an independent office responsible to the Parliament of Tasmania. In essence, the Commissioner's functions include promoting the rights and well-being of children along with examining the policies, practices and services provided for children and any laws affecting the health, welfare, care, protection and development of children. These functions are very broad and there is consequently a need to focus on matters that will make a real difference to the lives of children in Tasmania especially those more vulnerable children and young people.
