NSW Mandatory Reporter Guide – Decision Report
This Decision Report is an explanation of the MRG outcome based on your answers to the decision tree questions.
This should be printed and/or saved for your records.
Your Duty of Care as a Mandatory Reporter
It is a legal requirement for a mandatory reporter to report their suspicions to the Department of Communities and
Justice. However,
recognises that
s.29A of the Children and Young Persons (Care and Protection Act 1998)
making a report does not necessarily exhaust a mandatory reporter’s duty of care to a child, young person or their
family.
This means that a mandatory reporter’s duty of care is not over when they make a report to the Child Protection
Helpline.
A mandatory reporter should consider how they can continue to respond to the needs of the child, young person
and their family. There are also other support services available for children, young people and families that may be
able to help. See further resources below.
If you think the child or young person is in immediate danger, phone 000 immediately.
Immediate Report to the Child Protection Helpline
Please create an eReport or phone 132 111
