Detention of children, especially with conditions experienced on Nauru, is profoundly harmful to childhood health, well-being, and development. Infancy and childhood are the most vulnerable and formative times of a person's life. The lifelong psychological, emotional and physical trauma already experienced by these children in immigration detention will be intensified by their forceful return to Nauru immigration detention. It is within your power to mitigate the trauma experienced by these children by permitting them to stay on the Australian mainland in appropriate community settings which nurture childhood health and well-being. Furthermore, it is imperative that ALL children in Australian immigration detention be released and accommodated in appropriate community settings.
