Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers to some of your most common questions about the Child Protection Party.
The Number 1 Question We Get Asked!
Are you part of the Child protection Department?
ABSOLUTELY NOT!
We never have been and we never will be.
We do not receive any funding from any child protection department.
Nor do we take instructions from any department or department official.
One of our many aims is to hold child protection departments in every state and territory accountable for their actions.

Any Australian citizen or permanent resident over the age of 18. Ideally, we need citizens because a political party cannot use non-citizens to register in any state or territory in the Commonwealth.
