Organisations legally required to follow the Child and Youth Safe Organisations Framework

If your organisation engages with children and young people, it could be legally required to comply with the Child and Youth Safe Organisations Framework from 2024 onwards.

While all Tasmanian organisations can and should work to be child safe organisations, the law establishing the Framework lists specific types of organisations that must comply with it.

Broadly speaking, this includes schools, sporting clubs for kids, hospitals, dance groups — to name just a few.
