| Australia is holding 659 children in immigration detention, the human rights commission has heard.
Department of Immigration and Border Protection secretary Martin Bowles told a national inquiry the number of children being held in detention centres in Australia and offshore had fallen by more than 1330 since hitting a peak of 1992 in July, 2013.
Mr Bowles said the number of children being held at the Christmas Island detention centre was now 153, down by more than 530 in the past year.
Some of those children had been transferred to Nauru, where there were now 185 children being held.
