The Interim Commissioner for Children and Young People is Isabelle Crompton.
Isabelle has lived in Tasmania all her life. She grew up on the North West coast of Tasmania and moved to Hobart to study at the University of Tasmania.
Isabelle has been the Interim Commissioner for Children and Young People since October 2024. She loves chatting with young Tasmanians to hear how life’s going and what’s important to you. You can email Isabelle at childcomm@childcomm.tas.gov.au or call her on (03) 6166 1366 to tell her your thoughts about any issues affecting young Tasmanians.
Isabelle’s job as Interim Commissioner is to stand up for the rights and wellbeing of all Tasmanian children and young people aged under 18 and to influence decision-makers who can affect all your lives. Isabelle makes sure that laws and policies that affect you are fair and that decision-makers keep the promises they make to all children and young people living in Tasmania. She particularly keeps an eye out for groups of young Tasmanians who find it hard to have a say, including those in the youth justice system and in out of home care, and helps them be heard. Although normally Isabelle can only speak up for young Tasmanians as a group, she does have a special role to speak up for the rights of individual children and young people in youth detention.
