Oversight of Oranga Tamariki System Legislation Amendment Act 2025
The Oversight of Oranga Tamariki System Legislation Amendment Act 2025 is a New Zealand Act of Parliament that serves as the legislative framework for both the Independent Children's Monitor and the Children's Commissioner, which oversee the Oranga Tamariki's (Ministry for Children) child welfare system and advocate for children's rights. The bill designates the Children's Monitor as an independent Crown agency and reversed a 2022 law change that replaced the Children's Commissioner with the Children and Young People's Commission.
