Child Safe Organisations – Resources

As of 1 April 2026, sport organisations that work with children must be able to demonstrate they’re implementing the new Child Safe Standards. This applies to everyone – from small volunteer-run touch football Associations to QTF as your state-level organisation.

The following resources are recommended for associations working through implementation of the National Standards and Universal Principle:
