Inquiry into the Child Safe Organisations Bill 2024
OIC welcomes the opportunity to make a submission to the Community Support and Services Committee’s inquiry into the Child Safe Organisations Bill 2024.
Clause 48 (Prescribed child safe entities may disclose confidential information) and Clause 49 (Particular entities may share information for reportable conduct scheme)
OIC has confined its comments to chapters 4 and 5 of the Bill, in particular clauses 48 and 49. OIC notes clause 48 will allow disclosure of confidential information between prescribed CSS entities in particular circumstances in relation to child safe standards. Clause 49 allows disclosure of more sensitive information to a narrow list of prescribed RCS entities.
