The law as stated is current to 31 December 2012.
Important note: In 2014, the Child Protection Reform Amendment Act 2014 (Qld) was passed, which will make substantial changes to Queensland’s mandatory reporting legislation. These changes will shift Queensland’s position towards the current position in Victoria. The changes will broaden some mandatory reporting duties, but will narrow others. The changes also will introduce a more formal statutory footing for differential response pathways. These pending changes in Queensland are the most significant legislative amendments made in any jurisdiction to mandatory reporting legislation in the period after the 2003-12 time period which defined the scope of this research project.
