CHILDREN AND YOUNG PEOPLE ACT 2008 - SECT 396
Voluntary care agreements—who are parties?(1) In this chapter:
"party", for a voluntary care agreement, means the following people:
(a) the director-general;
(b) a parent of the child or young person who entered the agreement;
(c) someone else who entered the agreement and who has daily care responsibility, or long-term care responsibility, for the child or young person.
(2) A voluntary care agreement is not void or voidable because a party to the agreement is not an adult.
