TO THE HONOURABLE THE SPEAKER AND MEMBERS OF THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES

30 October 2015 This petition of concerned Clinicians and Health Professionals from around Australia draws to the attention of the House the escalating and increasingly desperate plight of the 205 children currently in immigration detention. As Clinicians and Health Professionals, we see on a daily basis the immense harm being done to these children, some of whom are newborn babies. Suicide attempts are sadly routine and the long-term impact of detention on these children is horrific. Every day in detention is a day doing more harm. We therefore ask the House to immediately release these children together with their families from detention. Name and signature:
