Let me put it this way:
If you are given a choice of having social services go in and grab your kids (who are all under 8 yrs old) with just the clothes on their backs and escort them back to Canada with two adult strangers
OR
going yourself, with another family member, helping them pack and decide which special things they want to bring home - which would you pick?

Understood, I don't expect you to divulge personal details online.
The choice between the two things you said above is no contest, obviously. I was actually under the impression that Australian authorities were not involved, and your daughter planned to simply fly there, say, "I'm taking the kids home with me", and hope for the best. Perhaps that was me reading too fast, perhaps there is too much info flying around this thread. Either way, my apologies.
As long as all your ducks are in a row, and the authorities are supervising and supporting the process, then there's no debate. I just wanted to ensure this trip wasn't being made 'for nothing', for lack of a better phrase, and that there was going to be a concrete benefit to going. Otherwise, you'd end up in a situation where you'd be flying to another country, engage in a tug of war, and the children simply get caught in the middle. But it looks like aside from the funds, you're all set.
Good luck.
