New last minute changes - initial report requirements

​On 1 July 2026, Queensland's Reportable Conduct Scheme (RCS) officially commenced under Chapter 3 of the Child Safe Organisations Act 2024 (Qld). The scheme—overseen by the Queensland Family and Child Commission (QFCC)—represents a significant shift in how organisations across the state must report, and respond to allegations of harmful conduct of children by workers and volunteers. 

Child safe organisations should be aware that there has been a recent minor amendment to the information required in a reportable conduct initial report to QFCC - the workers government id numbers. This could include their working with children authority, QCT registration number, drivers license number, etc.  If you have an initial report form that covers the requirements of section 35 - make sure it is updated to include this information.  And watch this space - we are expecting further fine tuning as the scheme is implemented!
