An advisory roundtable on bullying of children and young people in South Australian schools was convened to consider whether existing criminal laws were sufficient to address bullying and whether other legislative reform options should be explored. 

The roundtable’s recommendations have now been provided to government and released publicly.

New stronger, nationally consistent screening laws for people wanting to work or volunteer with children in South Australia are set to come into effect from July 1 2019.
