KCV Podcast - Understanding Changes to the Children Youth and Families Act
Stabilities Amendment & Supporting Stronger Stable Families Amendment
In March 2026 the Victorian parliament passed two pieces of legislation that bring important changes to Victoria’s Child Protection system. The Children, Youth and Families – Amendment Stabilities Act came into effect on 12 May 2026, and the Amendment Supporting Strong Stable Families Act is due to commence later in 2026. These reforms are some of the most substantial reforms to the Victorian Child Protection System in more than a decade. In this episode Fleur Ward and Sarah Masters - Accredited Children's Law Specialists and Special Counsel at Coulter Legal - take us through the impact the changes will have of children and families in out of home care.

KCV PODCAST Support for Young People Exploring Their Biological Identity
In 2024, GPV/KCV developed a statement reflecting its views. At its heart is a simple but powerful principle - that every child and young person has the right to know as much as possible about their biological family and personal history.
Supporting children and young people through this journey - with honesty, care and emotional safety - is an important part of the role many kinship carers hold.
In this episode, we speak with Dr Michelle Blanchard, CEO of VANISH, an organisation that supports people affected by past adoption practices, as well as care leavers and donor-conceived individuals.
