Contacting the OIR with a concern about a worker and/or organisation

You can reach out to us if you have concerns about an organisation that we regulate and/or a particular worker.

We are not an emergency response service. Contact Tasmania Police on 000 and/or Strong Families Safe Kids Advice and Referral Line on 1800 000 123 if you are concerned about the immediate safety of a child.

Key things to know before contacting us

We need specific details to be able to use our legal powers. Please fill in as many fields as you can which are relevant to your concern in the form below.

If you only have some of the details, or don’t feel comfortable sharing all of them, we still want to hear from you.

But it’s important for you to know this may limit the steps we can take.

We are not the police, and we don’t cancel peoples’ Registration to Work With Vulnerable People.

We can talk directly with organisations about their compliance responsibilities and share key information with other authorities.

If you would like support to fill this form out, please call us on 1800 754 728 and a team member will assist.
