Queensland’s Commission of Inquiry into the Child Safety System (the Commission) uses social media to keep the public informed about the work undertaken throughout the inquiry, and to share opportunities for the public to engage with or contribute to this work.
At this time, we maintain an official presence on the following social media platforms:
Monitoring and responses
The Commission’s social media accounts are managed, maintained and monitored by the Secretariat for the Commission.
The Commission’s social media accounts are primarily monitored during standard business hours.
While the Commission makes reasonable efforts to monitor and/or moderate content posted on its social media platforms, the Commission will only respond to comments and direct messages during standard business hours.
You should not contact the Commission on social media if you need an urgent or immediate response, or help in individual matters of child safety or child protection.
Private direct messages to any of the Commission’s social media accounts may be considered a submission, for the purposes of the inquiry. The Commission reads and reviews all submissions. We do not respond to all submissions individually. The Commission will only respond to your submission or contact you if we need more information.
User conduct guidelines
We encourage respectful dialogue and constructive engagement.
If you have specific information that you believe is helpful for the Commission, you should make a submission, rather than commenting or posting publicly on our or your own social media accounts.
For our public social media accounts, the following content is strictly prohibited and may be edited, deleted, or result in the user being blocked.
When contributing or commenting, do not post any material that contains:

- the name of any child, parent, carer or staff member involved with child safety or child protection
- hate speech, threats, harassment, or bullying
- profanity, obscenity, or offensive/vulgar imagery
- discriminatory, racist, defamatory, or inflammatory remarks
- nudity or offensive imagery in profile pictures
- any other inappropriate or offensive content
- name-calling or personal attacks
- false representation or defamation of individuals or a group of individuals, organisations, or government entities
- spam comments from individuals or groups, such as the same comment posted repeatedly on one or more posts on a single profile
- irrelevant or repetitive content
- comments whose main purpose are to sell a product
- promotion of a product, business, company or organisation.
- comments that infringe on copyrights.
The Commission retains the right at its sole discretion to review, moderate, edit, or remove content that does not comply with this Comment Policy or that the Commission’s Secretariat deems inappropriate.
Violations of this Comment Policy may cause the author to be blocked from the relevant page, or reported through the relevant social media platform’s reporting channels.
When commenting and responding to comments on our social media accounts, Commission employees are also expected to uphold the Queensland Government Code of Conduct for the Queensland Public Service, and to be guided by the Queensland Government’s:
