This is a child protection status review application involving a two-year-old child with a complex history of multiple placements and three separate child protection agencies.
The mother brought a motion for return of the child to her care or increased access.
The paternal great-aunt brought motions for party status and access.
The court dismissed the mother's motions, finding no material change in circumstances warranting modification of the temporary care order.
The court granted the paternal great-aunt party status and access, finding her plan merited consideration as an alternative placement option.
