According to the report, 9 percent of children in OT care were harmed in the year ending June 2023.

The Minister for Children says it's not good enough; while the Children and Young People's Commission says it's very concerning to see incidences of physical, emotional and sexual harm increasing, despite fewer children being in care.

Dr Claire Achmad speaks to Lisa Owen.
