When making a report/notification, advise the Child Abuse Report Line of as much information as possible to support the Child Abuse Report Line (CARL) worker to make an informed assessment.

Mandated reporter should use the Notification checklist to ensure they have the correct information ready when making a report/notification to the CARL via telephone or online, noting serious concerns cannot be made online.

Notifiers (members of the public) can use the notification checklist as a guide for the information they may be asked when reporting.

It is noted that mandated reporters/notifiers may have additional guidance and procedures available to make a notification in their workplace
