Child abuse and neglect Australia 1994: reporting and investigating procedures in Australia

A compendium of information relating to child abuse and neglect reporting and investigation procedures in Australia. The compendium includes, for each State and Territory, a description of the reporting and investigation procedures, summaries of relevant legislations and a description of the mandatory reporting requirements. Also included are the national standards for data collection for child abuse and neglect, and a list of the major non-government organisations with a role in child protection. It will be a useful companion to the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare's series of annual publications on child abuse and neglect in Australia as well as a useful tool for research in the child protection area.
