Throughout the coronavirus pandemic the child and family services sector has come together to address the needs of children and families. This has meant adapting to the ever-changing environment we are operating in. The quality of nominations reflects this, with innovative and high-quality practice a common theme among submissions.
The applications for these awards have been impressive and have come at a time where the awards also saw a record-breaking number of submissions - the highest number in the awards history.
To view the full list of finalists, visit the Department of Health and Human Services 2021 Victorian Protecting Children Awards webpage.
Winners will be announced at a gala event on Monday, 6 September as part of Child Protection Week celebrations.
Congratulations to all nominees and finalists.
