Overview
Phase 1 will replace the legacy child protection systems and youth justice systems known as CHYPS and YJIS and will be completed at the end of 2019. Phase 2 will include early intervention areas of Child and Family Centres and Child Development Services and will be completed by the end of 2020.
Benefits
The connections established across key parts of government that are now separate to share safety, risk and case management information will improve client management and lead to better outcomes. The new system will also introduce significant improvements for staff, including decreasing administrative burden, providing improved access to client information and streamline record keeping.
Status update
| Date | Update |
|---|---|
| March 2021 | The new Child and Youth Record Information System (CYRIS) has been in place for slightly over 12 months for Child Protection services, and Youth Justice Services moved onto the system late 2020. Phase 2 is currently in development and testing phases. The system has provided benefits to case worker recording of information, and the ability to report on many aspects of the child and youth protection system. The system has been demonstrated to be secure, scalable and adaptable to the changing needs of the community, legislation and reporting requirements. |
