The Training Schools Amendment Act 1885 repealed in full the amendments made in the Training Schools Amendment Act 1880.
The maximum age of detention was changed from 18 to 16 years for males, but for females it remained at 18.
This 1885 legislation also extended the minimum period of detention in a Training School from 1 year to 3 years. The other significant change made by the Training Schools Amendment Act 1885 was to remove the 18 month time period before a detained child could be sent to live with 'any trustworthy and respectable person' licenced by the Training School Managers with the approval of the Chief Secretary.
