Career changers

If you have experience in a similar area, such as social work, psychology or welfare, you can take your career to the next level by joining our department as a Child Safety Officer.

If you're interested in making a career change to child protection but you're not sure if you meet the eligibility requirements of the role, you can send your resume and university transcripts to our Recruitment team for an informal assessment of your qualifications.

If you've worked as a Child Safety Officer previously in Queensland and want to return to work, you'll automatically meet the current eligibility requirements for all child protection roles.
