Overview

• The plan creates a three‑tier public reporting system with a searchable database and an option to apply for images of high‑risk offenders in a local area.
• Names, ages, and photos of reportable offenders who abscond or breach reporting obligations will be published on a public website.
• Parents and carers will be able to apply to police to learn if an adult with unsupervised contact with their child is a reportable offender.
• Queensland Police will administer the scheme, with safeguards and new offences to deter misuse to be detailed in coming days.
• Daniel Morcombe’s parents welcomed the move, while the Queensland Council for Civil Liberties warned of potential harm to victims and a false sense of security.
