Community Services Accreditation Order

2015

under the

Children and Young Persons (Savings and Transitional) Regulation 2000

I, the Children’s Guardian, in pursuance of clause 22AA of the Children and Young Persons

(Savings and Transitional) Regulation 2000, make the following Order.

Dated, this 21 day of July 2015.

KERRYN BOLAND,

Children’s Guardian

Explanatory note

Clause 22AA(2) of the Children and Young Persons (Savings and Transitional) Regulation 2000 provides

that accreditation of Community Services as a designated agency under the Children and Young Persons

(Care and Protection) Act 1998 (the Act) and the regulations made under that Act ceases to have effect on

the following date:

(a) 31 July 2015,

(b) if a later date is determined by the Children’s Guardian by order published on the NSW

legislation website – that date.

The object of this Order is to extend the accreditation of Community Services as a designated agency to

31 July 2016. The Children’s Guardian is of the opinion that, as a result of changes or proposed changes to

the administration of out-of-home care under the Children and Young Persons (Care and Protection) Act

1998, it is appropriate for the accreditation to continue in effect until that date.
