It is a legal requirement in Western Australia for doctors, nurses, midwives, teachers, police officers and boarding supervisors to report all reasonable beliefs of child sexual abuse to the Department of Communities - Child Protection and Family Support.
On 1 January 2009, the legislation that governs mandatory reporting of child sexual abuse became part of the Children and Community Services Act 2004.
You can lodge a written mandatory report here using the Department's secure Mandatory Reporting Web System (MRWeb).
Please be advised that there may be a problem submitting the report if you use Internet Explorer as your browser. For this reason we recommend that you please use Google Chrome or Firefox.
Alternatively you can download a PDF mandatory reporting form template under 'Make a report'.
