Can you get compensation? (easy read)
Use this webpage if you live in NSW.
This webpage explains compensation. It says you may get money if someone does something very wrong and hurts you. It also explains that if Community Services take your child, you usually cannot get compensation. This is because their job is to keep children safe, even if you feel upset or think they made a mistake. It suggests talking to your lawyer for advice.
