Child Protection in OSHC - Australia Wide

This session has been designed specifically for understanding child protection issues in school-age care services all over Australia and explores the legislative and practice frameworks that underpin child protection across the country.

OSHC services are in a unique position to understand the lives and experiences of children and families through the nature of their work and now in all states and territories most OSHC professionals are Mandatory Reporters under the various Acts.

This session will support educators to understand:

• Child maltreatment in Australia

• Different legislative and practice frameworks, and regulatory authorities across Australia
