Reporting COVID-19 positive incidents to DCJ
DCJ is changing its approach to service provider requirements to report positive COVID incidents to DCJ.
What you need to do from now onwards
DCJ is no longer requiring service providers to report all COVID-19 positive incidents to your DCJ contract manager.
The only incidents which still need to be reported is where the incident involves a child or young person in out-of-home-care or similar arrangements, and where the child or young person is under Parental Responsibility to the Minister (PRM).
If you are a provider of such services, you will need to continue to report these cases to your district as per existing arrangements.
