The hub has guidance for those who are concerned about the safety and wellbeing of a child or young person.
25 March 2026

Children and young people matter in Victoria. It’s a great place to learn and grow. We work to ensure children and young people are safe, supported and ready to thrive.

A new online hub is available. It has guidance for those who are concerned about the safety and wellbeing of a child or young person. 

Visit the Professional reporter and referrer information hub webpage.

The hub will: 

  • ensure all professionals have access to clear guidance and information before making a report to child protection or referral to a service such as The Orange Door
  • streamline reporting and referral processes
  • improve children and families’ participation with child protection, The Orange Door and family services.

Protecting children is everyone’s responsibility. While some professionals hold mandatory reporting obligations, every professional has a responsibility to know their obligations to keep children safe from family violence, harm and abuse.
