Child protection

SA Health has a vital role to play in keeping children and young people safe by identifying, addressing and preventing child abuse and neglect. Child protection is the responsibility of all employees, contractors, consultants, volunteers and students on placement in SA Health facilities.

If you are wanting to make a notification about a child's safety, call the Child Abuse Report Line (Department of Child Protection) on 131 478.

Further information on Child Protection for clinicians is available below.
