Child sexual abuse occurs when an adult, adolescent or child use their power or authority to involve a child in sexual activity. Child sexual abuse can cause physical and emotional harm to a child.


If you would like further information on child sexual abuse, an information booklet is available from Child Safety Services. If you suspect a child has experienced harm, or is at risk of experiencing harm, there are a number of agencies that can provide support and advice.

The Department of Communities, Child Safety and Disability Services

Contact the department on 13 QGOV (13 74 68).

After business hours, call the Child Safety After-Hours Service Centre on 3235 9999 or freecall 1800 177 135.

If your concerns are about an Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander child, the local Recognised Entity will be involved. A Recognised Entity is an Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander individual or organisation who is recognised in their community to provide cultural and family advice for Indigenous child protection matters.
