Effects of this bill
If this bill passes, it means that:
Ministers who are SSSF partners must prepare SSSF plans every two years and produce progress reports.
SSSF partners must deliver services to the SSSF group, including health, education, and welfare support.
SSSF partners are required to prioritise the best interests of children and care leavers and support the cultural identity of Aboriginal persons.
A person's primary professional duties prevail if they conflict with their responsibilities as an SSSF partner.
The law confirms that the SSSF framework does not create new legal rights or allow for civil lawsuits.
