自 2000 年以来，澳大利亚新南威尔士州 (NSW) 政府推行了重大的儿童福利改革。为了应对“儿童保护危机”，并以公共卫生方法为基础，主要目标是通过“扩大和加强早期干预和家庭服务”来防止虐待儿童并促进儿童福利。本文批判性地回顾了新南威尔士州的目标、方法和主要发展。文章认为，改革在多个方面以具有成本效益的方式扩展和加强了早期干预和家庭服务，但面临实施问题、服务发展的限制以及限制其范围和影响的重大改革挑战。这些限制引发了有关改革框架、资源限制和意识形态影响的关键问题。
Since 2000, the New South Wales (NSW) Government in Australia has pursued major child welfare reforms. Responding to the ‘crisis in child protection’ and informed by a public health approach, key aims were to prevent child maltreatment and promote child welfare by ‘expanding and enhancing early intervention and family services’. This article critically reviews the aims, approach and main developments in NSW. The article argues that in several respects the reforms extended and enhanced early intervention and family services in cost-effective ways but suffered from implementation problems, limitations in service developments and major reform challenges which inhibited their scope and impacts. These limitations raise critical issues about the reform framework, resource constraints and ideological influences.
