I thank the caseworkers, foster carers and frontline staff members in the Department of Communities and Justice (DCJ) in the Blue Mountains and across New South Wales. They do some of the toughest, most emotionally demanding work in our State, quietly, professionally and tirelessly. They are the backbone of our child protection system, and we are so grateful for them. I thank also our extraordinary Minister Kate Washington for visiting the DCJ office in Faulconbridge in the Blue Mountains in November 2024, for sitting with our local workers, hearing them out and taking them seriously, for truly understanding the toll of working for our most vulnerable children. The $1.2 billion investment in child protection, including historic pay rises, in the 2025-26 budget, is proof that the Minns Labor Government is listening and acting. We see them, value them and are backing them.
