Child protection

If you believe a child is in immediate danger or in a life-threatening situation, call 000.

For non-emergency situations that still require a timely response, contact your local police station or call 131 444.

If you wish to report a child protection matter, directly contact the agency responsible for child protection in your state or territory.

You can report child online sexual exploitation via the ‘Report Abuse’ button on the Australian Centre To Counter Child Exploitation (ACCCE) or ThinkUKnow websites.
