"An additional 200 workers and the introduction of a specialist child protection intervention team are features of a $77.2 million Brumby Labor Government boost to the child protection workforce announced to help keep Victoria’s most vulnerable children safe.
The announcement follows the release of the Ombudsman’s annual report, which flagged a number of concerns about the child protection system. Mr Brumby said the investment would relieve pressure points in the current system and would ensure Victoria’s most vulnerable children are protected."
