The “crisis in care” series examined the problems within the Victorian Department of Human Services and the impact these problems had on the children, young people, parents and carers who have to deal with the department. The articles were written with William Birnbauer and published in The Sunday Age.

The series received a special commendation at the 2004 Media Peace Awards of the United Nations Association of Australia and was a finalist at the 2004 Human Rights and Equal Opportunity Commission media awards.
