WA Family Pathways Network - 2015 conference

Good morning. Thank you Deborah for your introduction.

I would like to acknowledge the traditional owners of the land on which we meet today.

Welcome everyone to the WA Family Pathways Network 2015 conference.

My thanks to the organising committee for inviting me to officially open this important conference, I am encouraged by the focus on children and the important discussions that are to come.

Some of you will be more familiar than others with the role of the Commissioner for Children and Young People, so I would like to take this opportunity to tell you a little about the role and some of the key areas of work for my office.
