A planned walkout of Community Services Child Protection Officers in Orange was cancelled after managers attended a PSA meeting. The walkout was planned in the central western city in reaction to a staff shortage that has resulted in only 20 per cent of children in need of support being seen by a Caseworker. The action is part of a statewide series of walkouts to highlight a Child Protection system in crisis. The PSA will investigate whether there is a culture of fear in the Orange Community Services office that is preventing Caseworkers taking five minutes to protest about their working conditions and staffing levels. #ChildProtectionInCrisis

The ceremony, at Blackheath in the Blue Mountains, remembered the rangers killed throughout the world defending the planet’s wilderness areas.
