Where is the provision in the Children, Youth and Families Act that grants the power to DFFH (DHHS) to remove children?

Various acts give prescribed persons authority to apply to court for an intervention (that can include removing children) if required .... In VIC it's covered mostly under part 4.8 PROTECTIVE INTERVENTION of the Children, Youth and Families act
