The Commission's review of the Adoption Act was tabled in the Victorian Parliament on 7 June 2017. Ensuring children’s best interests and rights were the main considerations, the report considered:
- Eligibility to adopt and the application process
- Access to adoption information
- Birth certificates of adopted people.
The Commission was not asked to examine adoption laws and practices that existed before the Adoption Act 1984; nor the law regarding intercountry adoption programs, nor adoptions by same-sex couples or contact statements.
