Please complete this form to report concerns or complaints about child or youth safety involving an NRE Tas employee, volunteer, or contractor. 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.

Please provide as much detail as you are able and comfortable to do so. We, the department, take all reports seriously. All reports of misconduct will be investigated accordingly, and appropriate actions taken to prevent further harm.

We ask you to enter your contact details. Information you provide will be shared with the person(s) assigned to investigate, and with the Office of the Independent Regulator for oversight.

You can submit an anonymous report, however we do ask you to enter a valid email address. You must provide enough detail for responding persons to adequately assess the concern and identify any persons of interest. Submitting an anonymous report may limit the scope of investigation and response. Any malicious or intentionally false reports will be responded to in accordance with the law.

If you don't feel comfortable reporting through NRE Tas, you can report the incident or concern directly to the Office of the Independent Regulator.
