Thank you for taking the time to contact Hon Karen Chhour, Minister for
Children, and the Prevention of Family & Sexual Violence.

 

Minister Chhour considers all correspondence important and all emails are
read and considered. As such a large volume is received, it is not
possible to personally reply to all emails and so the following guidelines
apply:

* If your email is for the Minister’s information, or if you have copied
your email to another Minister and/or Member of Parliament who holds
more appropriate portfolio responsibilities, then your correspondence
will be noted.
* Invitations and requests to meet with the Minister will be processed
as soon as possible and a staff member will be in contact in due
course.
* Media queries will be referred to the Minister’s press secretary.
* If you have made a request for official information, then this will be
managed in accordance with the provisions of the Official Information
Act 1982, which may include a transfer to a more relevant Minister or
agency.
