Protecting Australian Children’s Rights

Australia is a signatory to the International Convention on the Rights of the Child.

When families break up the Family Court is in the habit of granting "custody" to one parent only. This infringes the Convention.

Guidelines for the Child’s Representative is a Practice Direction from the Famiy Court of Australia setting out exactly how lawyers appointed to safeguard children’s rights (ICLs) should treat, meet with, reassure, fully inform, sensitively interview, present the views of, gain the trust of, and generally deal with “custody” kids affected by Family Law.

BUT, the Court does not ensure that children’s lawyers do this vital work correctly.

If the ICL does a poor job there is nothing that can be done. Australia does not care!

Where ICLs act contrary to the Guidelines, the Family Court takes no action. This applies especially in Queensland and South Australia.

rockoz.com believes that the Family Court of Australia should protect children’s rights as set out in the International Convention on the Rights of the Child.

rockoz.com wants the Family Court to take action to ensure that Independent Children’s Lawyers observe the Guidelines for the Child’s Representative.

rockoz.com is striving to make the Family Court less legal, more honourable, more caring and more ethical in its dealings with children.

rockoz.com simply wants children treated better by the Family Court.
