This FOI release comprises a schedule of Community Services Ministers' Meeting records from July 2024 to July 2026, including RSVP lists and four meeting communiques (30 July 2024, 31 October 2025 draft, 20 February 2026, and 17 July 2026). Discussion covered Safe and Supported national child protection framework priorities, including transitioning funding to Aboriginal Community-controlled organisations, early intervention, delegated authority, workforce development and out-of-home care reduction, where Closing the Gap Target 12 was acknowledged as off track. Ministers agreed to seek a joint meeting with the Women's Safety Ministers, and to examine taxation and social security treatment of carer and care leaver payments, with DSS to consult NSW. Other matters included a Records Access Working Group for forced adoption records, and the Working with Children Check reform. Attendee names are partly withheld under section 22.
