In this episode of The Lawyers Weekly Show, host Jerome Doraisamy is joined by National Children’s Commissioner Anne Hollonds, from the Australian Human Rights Commission (AHRC), to discuss the recently released report – ‘Help way earlier!’: How Australia can transform child justice to improve safety and wellbeing – and what it says about the urgent need to better ensure justice outcomes for Australian youth.

Hollonds delves into her role and why it is needed, the key findings and takeaways from the AHRC report, the flow-on consequences of such poor safety and justice frameworks, what the report says about who Australia is as a nation, the need for a National Children’s Act, and how lawyers can better improve safety and wellbeing outcomes for children across the country moving forward.
