Recovery orders


This fact sheet explains what a recovery order is and who can apply for a recovery order. It also includes information about what you can do when a child has been taken from Australia without consent, or has not been returned to Australia.

NOTE: Before applying to the Court for a recovery order, you should seek legal advice. If a child is in immediate danger, you should contact the State or Territory police and/or the State or Territory Child Welfare Department.
