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.
