When making a report/notification, advise the Child Abuse Report Line of as much information as possible to support the Child Abuse Report Line (CARL) worker to make an informed assessment.

Mandated notifiers should use the Notification checklist to make sure they have the correct information ready when making a report/notification to the CARL via telephone or online, noting serious concerns cannot be made online.

Members of the public making a report can also use the checklist as a guide to the information they may be asked.

Mandated notifiers may also have guidance and procedures available in their workplace to help them make a notification.
