Section 10KAFamily Law Act 1975 (Cth)

Simplified outline of this Division

Accreditation Rules may provide for the accreditation of persons and entities as CCS practitioners and CCS businesses (see section 10A).

If they do, then it is an offence for children’s contact services (as defined in this Division) to be provided by a person or entity that is not accredited.

Accredited providers of children’s contact services must not use or disclose safety information that is obtained in their capacity as accredited providers (with some exceptions). Safety information is generally not admissible in court.
