Watch our webinar, Getting Ready for Queensland's Reportable Conduct Scheme.

With Queensland’s Reportable Conduct Scheme (Scheme) commencing on 1 July 2026, organisations that care for, supervise or exercise authority over children face a material shift in accountability, governance, and operational decision-making.

While the framework itself is relatively clear, the challenge for most organisations is implementation. Systems, escalation pathways and leadership judgment will need to operate together in real time, and withstand scrutiny from regulators, boards and the community.

This practical briefing covers:

  • The key requirements of the Reportable Conduct Scheme and what they mean for governance and accountability
  • The role and responsibilities of the Head of Entity
  • Recognising and responding to reportable conduct
  • Building systems to support effective reporting, decision-making and documentation
  • The interaction between the Scheme and the Child Safe Standards


Designed for board members, CEOs and senior leaders responsible for governance and child safety.
