National Peak Overseas Adoption Support Group

On 30 March 2008, the Attorney-General, the Hon Robert McClelland MP, announced the appointees to the National Peak Overseas Adoption Support Group.

The Peak Support Group will provide a national voice to Government and work to ensure that the intercountry adoption community in Australia is well represented.

The establishment of a Peak Support Group was a key recommendation of the House of Representatives Standing Committee on Family and Human Services’ 2005 Report, Overseas Adoption in Australia. The structure and nominations for the Peak Support Group followed extensive consultation with the adoption community in 2007.

Western Australia is represented by Sonya Mahoney and Eun Bryan. Contact details are through the National Peak Overseas Adoption Support Group website.
