Notes:	General Overview:This report of the Social Policy Research Centre, UNSW, commissioned by the Australian Attorney General’s Department discusses the changes to the 2006 family law reforms on shared care parenting. It discusses the circumstances wherein shared care parenting arrangements do and don’t work, based on the best interests of the child. Discussion: Initially, this report surveys the literature on shared care arrangements, offering an overview of the complexities and political controversies surrounding shared care. The report bases its analysis on existing data and the gathering of data via a post-based parent survey. It concludes that it is not the care arrangements in and of themselves that make a difference to the well-being of children. Rather, it is the interrelation between care arrangements with other variables including socio-economic status and the level of inter-parental conflict that determine the personal growth of children.
