All organisations offering services to children or young people must lodge a child safe environments compliance statement.
All compliance statements (including your policies) are reviewed by the Child Safe Environments Team. Feedback on policies may be provided to assist you to meet minimum legislative requirements.
Organisations have a maximum of 6 months from the original lodgement date to finalise their lodgement. This gives organisations time to develop policies or respond to feedback on policies reviewed by the CSE Team.
Lodge your statement online
We are changing the way CSEC Statements are lodged online. Online lodgement is temporarily closed and will be available again by 30 June 2025.
If you need to lodge a Statement before 30 June 2025 to provide evidence of a current statement to an employing agency or regulatory body — phone the Child Safe team on 1800 371 113.
Organisations lodging a statement for the first time or updating their statement after a policy review can do so after 30 June 2025.
No penalties will be issued during this period.
