Reportable Conduct Investigators Serving Brisbane and Queensland
Queensland's reportable conduct scheme commenced on 1 July 2026 under the Child Safe Organisations Act 2024. If your organisation is now navigating its obligations for the first time, Insight Investigations is here to help.
We have investigators based in Brisbane and across New South Wales, with deep experience in the reportable conduct scheme operating in NSW under the Children's Guardian Act 2019 — which Queensland's framework closely mirrors. We understand the legislation, the investigation standards required and what it takes to produce a report that will withstand regulatory scrutiny.
What You Need To Know About Queensland's Reportable Conduct Scheme
The Child Safe Organisations Act 2024 establishes a reportable conduct scheme for Queensland organisations that work with children. Similar in structure to the long-running NSW framework, it requires relevant organisations to investigate allegations of reportable conduct made against employees, volunteers and contractors, and to report their findings to the Queensland Family and Child Commission (QFCC).
If your organisation has not yet worked through its obligations under the new scheme, now is the time to act. Getting your investigation processes right from the outset — including notification timelines, procedural fairness requirements and reporting standards — will save significant difficulty down the track.

Why organisations across QLD choose Insight Investigations
Independence is critical in a workplace investigation. When you engage an external investigator, the findings carry more weight — with the staff involved, with regulators and with any tribunal or court that may later review the matter. Insight Investigations brings independence, expertise and a level of sector knowledge that most organisations cannot replicate internally.
We are a trusted external investigation partner for organisations across Queensland that need to know a complaint will be handled properly.
