For the Pilot, short-term remand is defined as instances where a child or young person is refused bail by Police and subsequently granted bail by a magistrate at their first court appearance (usually within 24 hours). A key Pilot priority is to reduce the overrepresentation of Aboriginal young people experiencing avoidable short-term remand.

Proudly part of the Save the Children Australia Group and global movement, we’re here to make sure that children and young people have their rights met and thrive, in all their diversity.

With the child’s voice at the centre, we provide quality services to children and their caregivers in every state and territory, and across regions, remote areas and capital cities.
