It assessed proposed amendments to the Child Protection (Child Sex Offender Government Agency Registration) Act 2016 (the Act), which were identified following a three-year evaluation of the Child Sex Offender Register (the Register) and through operational insights. The amendments seek to refine the legislation to better support the operation of the Register and Risk Management Framework (RMF).
