D75 means these records are closed to the general public for 75 years from the date of the last entry in them. People wishing to access these records should contact Adoptions and Permanency Services After Care Support Program, which is run by the Department of Communities Tasmania. Applicants will be required to fill out a Personal Information Protection (PIP) form. How access is provided once permission is granted will depend on the file. Usually Adoption and Permanency Services request it back and then provide access or copies. Staff at the Tasmanian Archive and Heritage Office may be able to assist you in finding other relevant records.
The records are organised chronologically and by number. This series has 218 items. Case numbers given in these files relate to case numbers in the related series ‘Police Reports Received from the Children’s Court’ (Series Number AD212). Some case reports are present in both series, however some are missing from this series, so AD212 may be able to fill in some gaps.
