The state government first decided to leave the power to order drug and alcohol tests to a court but has now agreed to allow these powers to be given to the Child Protection Department chief executive.

While the proposed amendments were welcomed by some groups, others weren’t as welcoming. A selected number of groups have been issued a discussion paper for comment, however it has not been publicly released.
