Section 76 or 82 Reports

Collaborating in preparing section 76 or 82 reports

The PSP provider is responsible for:

  • preparing a draft section 76 report regarding the progress and outcomes of a supervision order, or draft section 82 report regarding the suitability of a child’s OOHC arrangements, following making of final orders by the Children’s Court
  • providing the Department with a draft of either of these reports, five business days prior to the date on which it is due to be filed.
  • preparing any draft reports to the standard required by the Children’s Court.

The Department is responsible for approving and filing these reports, even when prepared by a PSP provider. Also see functions of parental responsibility exercised by DCJ.
