Some of you may be aware that the Statutes Amendment (Child Sexual Abuse) Act 2021 came into effect on 1 June 2022.
This legislation includes two new offences - the failure to report suspected child abuse and the failure to protect a child from sexual abuse.
We encourage you to be aware of these changes and your legal obligations.
We’ve created a frequently asked questions document to help you better understand the new offences.
