Report concerns or complaints

Any parent, carer or member of the community who has observed behaviour by a State Growth worker that causes concern should report it to us via the report link below.

This includes reports of physical violence, sexual misconduct, sexual offences, grooming or other reportable conduct committed against, or in the presence of, children and young people.

All children and young people have the right to be safe and to feel safe. If you are a child or young person who doesn’t feel safe, talk to an adult you trust, like a parent, carer, teacher or a friend’s mum or dad. This could be about the way our staff have behaved or if you’re unhappy with the way you’re being treated. You can make a complaint on your own or ask someone to support you to do it.

Please download reporting concerns about child safety form (PDF 119.4 KB) if you would like to complete a paper based form and forward it to keepingchildrensafe@stategrowth.tas.gov.au.
