An Interim Accommodation Order is made by the Children’s Court to state where the child must live until the next court date. This order is made when the magistrate at the Children's Court believes that there are issues that must be addressed for the child's safety and wellbeing.
At the end of the Interim Accommodation Order, the child's parents will have to go back to court with the Child Protection worker for the magistrate to make a final decision about the best way to ensure the child's safety and wellbeing.
