Report abuse or neglect
Reporting child abuse and neglect is everyone’s responsibility. If you believe a child or young person is experiencing abuse or neglect, you should report it.
You do not need to be certain that there is abuse or neglect of a child or young person to contact the authorities. If you are unsure, call the relevant authority to discuss your concerns.
Child abuse and neglect refers to any behaviour or treatment by parents, carers, support workers, other adults or older adolescents that causes (or could cause) physical or emotional harm to a child or young person.
Visit the Australian Institute of Family Studies’ Reporting child abuse and neglect webpage for service providers to find out how to report child safety concerns in your state or territory.
Call 000 if you believe a child or young person is in immediate danger.
