Specific exclusions
Child FIRST was set up under the Children Youth and Families Act Vic (2005) to be the entry point for all Family Services support programs. If there are concerns about the well-being of a child (this can include an unborn child), Child First is the first point of contact. A report should be made to Child Protection if you have immediate concerns about a child’s safety, stability or development.
