The OCYA stands up for young people. They are an independent office, which means they are not part of the government, Children’s Services, or Youth Justice.
They can help you speak up for yourself so that your rights, interests and viewpoints are considered when decisions are being made about you.
If you are receiving or want to receive child intervention services, or are involved with the youth justice system, then the OCYA can help you. They may also be able to give you a lawyer if you are dealing with a child intervention court matter, or a matter under the Protection of Sexually Exploited Children Act (PSECA).
