Seeking responses from 1 July 2022 to 30 June 2023

The Public Advocate and Children and Young People Commissioner (PACYPC) is committed to pursuing a supportive and caring community where the rights and interests of people experiencing vulnerability are protected.
 
The PACYPC advocates for individuals and at a systems level to encourage and facilitate positive changes (for example, service improvements) that lead to improved outcomes for people experiencing vulnerability.
 
We know the COVID-19 pandemic has generated additional challenges for many members of our ACT community, particularly those already experiencing vulnerability. The PACYPC has strived to maintain our responsiveness throughout this time but acknowledge that increasing levels of demand may have impacted our capacity. We would like to reassure you, however, that we remain available, and encourage members of the community to contact us if they require assistance to ensure their rights are upheld.

We advocate for children, young people and adults experiencing vulnerability by:
•  providing accessible information to help people understand their rights,
•  making sure we understand the concern being raised,
•  finding out what the person thinks needs to happen to address their concern,
•  working together with the person and others to generate effective and sustainable solutions, and
•  promoting and encouraging improvements in facilities, services and systems.

We are committed to advocating in a manner that is rights-focussed, respectful, responsive, and recognisant of diversity.

The PACYPC also has statutory oversight and compliance monitoring roles in the child protection, youth justice, mental health and complex disability support systems.
