636Object of ch 17

636 Object of ch 17 The object of this chapter is to provide for the transfer of care and protection orders and proceedings between the ACT and a State or between the ACT and New Zealand— (a) so that children and young people who are in need of protection may be protected despite moving from one jurisdiction to another; and (b) to facilitate the timely and expeditious finalisation of court proceedings for the protection of a child or young person; and (c) to recognise the desirability of orders relating to the care and protection of a child or young person having effect, and being enforced, in the jurisdiction where the child or young person lives.
