What is the ARL? - Tell Someone

What is the ARL?

The Strong Families Safe Kids Advice and Referral Line (ARL) is the first point of contact for child wellbeing and safety.

Everyone with a concern about the safety and wellbeing of a child should contact the ARL.

Concerned relatives, friends, neighbours can contact the ARL, and mandatory reporters must call the ARL. Parents and children are also able to call to ask for help for themselves.

Staff at the ARL will talk to you about the situation, answer your questions, give you information or advice and, if needed, arrange a referral to a service that can best meet the child’s or young person’s needs.

There is also an online contact form on the Strong Families Safe Kids website.

The Tasmanian Government acknowledges the trauma that continues to affect people with lived experience of child abuse. We are committed to being sensitive to this trauma as we use the learnings from past wrongs to protect the rights of current and future generations of children and young people and keep them safe from harm.
We also acknowledge the determination and resilience of the Tasmanian Aboriginal people of Lutruwita / Tasmania, who have survived invasion, dispossession and significant abuse while continuing to maintain their identity, culture and rights.
