Department for Child Protection chief executive Cathy Taylor steps down after a year in which her department has been exposed for failures in protecting the state's young people from abuse.
Multiples reports were made to the Department for Child Protection before Charlie's death.
It was also revealed 60 children who had been removed from their parents or reported to authorities as at-risk had died over the past four years. Mr Malinauskas thanked Ms Taylor for her service and said a "global recruitment process" will begin to fill her position.
