The NSW Child Death Review Team (CDRT) was formed in 1996.
Following a recommendation made by Justice Wood’s 2008 Inquiry into Child Protection Services in NSW, the Children Legislation Amendment (Wood Inquiry Recommendations) Act 2009 provided for the transfer of responsibility for coordinating the Child Death Review Team from the Commission for Children and Young People to the NSW Ombudsman’s office: http://www.ombo.nsw.gov.au. The transfer was completed in 2011.
CDRT Reports published before 2011 are available in our Publications section.
