Children's Commissioner Act 2022

The Children's Commissioner Act 2022 (titled the Children and Young People's Commission Act 2022 prior to 5 August 2025) is a New Zealand Act of Parliament that established the Children and Young People's Commission (CYPC) and repealed the Children's Commissioner Act 2003. The Bill was formerly part of the proposed "Oversight of the Oranga Tamariki System and Children and Young People's Commission Bill" until it was split into two separate pieces of legislation by the New Zealand Parliament on 11 August 2022. Together, the bill and the companion Oversight of Oranga Tamariki System Act 2022 replaced the Children's Commissioner, the independent national Children's ombudsman.

In August 2025, the law's title and provisions were amended following the passage of the Oversight of Oranga Tamariki System Legislation Amendment Act 2025, which reestablished the Children's Commissioner and dissolved the CYPC.
