Child Safe Standards Checklist Library

Illustration of an open book with visible text lines.

Implementing the Child Safe Standards can feel big, especially if you’re running a busy service or have a small team.

These FREE checklists are designed to break the Standards down into clear, practical steps.
Here you’ll find a growing library of free, sector-specific checklists for organisations where children attend regularly from dance and performing arts, to community programs, NDIS services and more.

Each checklist:

aligns with the Queensland Child Safe Standards (and the Universal Principle)
is written in plain English, with busy leaders in mind
helps you see what’s in place, what’s partial and what’s missing

Important: These resources are general in nature and do not constitute legal advice. They should support, not replace, your organisation’s own legal and regulatory obligations.

How to use the checklists

You can use each checklist to:

complete a quick self-assessment against the Queensland Child Safe Standards for child safety compliance
identify gaps and priorities before you invest time and money in new documents related to child safety training
guide conversations with boards, committees, managers, and staff

A simple approach is to:

Pick the checklist that best matches your sector
Work through it honestly
Capture your evidence (what you already have)
Highlight your top 3–5 actions and set realistic time frames
