QUEENSLAND'S child protection inquiry will examine the over-representation of young Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders in the state's child protection system this week.
The Queensland Child Protection Commission of Inquiry, headed by former Family Court judge Tim Carmody SC, held its first round of hearings in July 2012.
It is reviewing the adequacy of government responses to allegations of historical abuse in youth detention centres and will make recommendations to reform the system.
The Brisbane hearing has called on nine witnesses, including indigenous elders, parents, academics and representatives from service and legal providers, to give evidence.
Witnesses have already told the inquiry Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children are nine times more likely than other children to be subject to a protection order or an out of home care order in Queensland.
The proceedings will open in the Brisbane Magistrates Court at 10am (AEST) on Monday and be streamed live on the inquiry's website.
The 10-month inquiry has already held hearings in Brisbane, Ipswich, Rockhampton, Mount Isa, Beenleigh, Townsville, Cairns and Aurukun.
It will hand down recommendations on April 30.
