Child and Youth Safety
Report Concerns and Complaints
All children and young people have the right to be safe and feel safe.
Anybody who has seen an Inland Fisheries Service staff member behave in a way that causes concern can report it:
Concerning behaviour could include physical violence, sexual misconduct, sexual offences, grooming or other reportable conduct committed against, or in the presence of, children and young people.
If there is an emergency where there is immediate risk of harm or a crime is happening now, contact Police on Triple Zero (000).
Where a crime may have been committed, contact police on 131 444 or report anonymously to Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
For advice or for concerns about the safety or wellbeing of a child, contact the Advice and Referral Line (ARL) on 1800 000 123.
