General Information

The South West Brisbane Community Legal Centre (SWBCLC) currently provides information and advice to parents and guardians who have had their child/ren removed or are likely to have their child/ren removed by the Department of Child Safety.

If you are a parent or guardian who would like advice on a child protection matter please contact SWBCLC for an appointment.

Child Protection Information Kit

The SWBCLC has developed Child Protection Information Kits on Child Protection For Parents; Community Workers; and Kinship Carers.. These are general information kits. They are basic guides about rights and obligations for parents, community workers and kinship carers under the Child Protection Act (QLD) 1999. They outline rights and obligations for each group, court processes and tips for negotiating with the Department of Child Safety.

The Child Protection Kits are being updated due to legislative updates and will be available on our new website shortly.

Child Protection Workshops (Free of charge)

The SWBCLC also offers a free 5 hour workshop to community sector tworkers who work with parents/guardians/carers/children in the child protection system. Please contact SWBCLC for more information or to book a workshop for your organisation.
