About the Act
The Child and Youth Safe Organisations Act 2023 came into effect in January 2024.
It requires organisations that work with children and young people to take the steps necessary to keep them safe, including reporting concerns about inappropriate conduct by workers – even if it happens outside of work.
Making a request
If you’re investigating a reportable conduct matter and need information from Tasmania Police:
- use the online Tasmania Police Reportable Conduct Information Request Form to submit your request
This ensures the request is handled lawfully and efficiently.
Important!
This process only applies to requests made under the Child and Youth Safe Organisations Act 2023.
Other types of requests (for example – mandatory reporting or general information sharing) should continue to follow existing procedures and not use this form.
Need help?
If you have any questions about the form or the new process for submitting information requests, please contact the Staff Officer to the Deputy Commissioner of Police via dcop@police.tas.gov.au.
