How we deal with family violence by health care workers

Our job is to make sure health care services in Queensland:

  • are safe
  • can be trusted.

We do this by:

  • making sure health care workers follow the rules

  • managing complaints about health care workers.

When you make a complaint, you tell someone that something:

  • has gone wrong
  • isn’t working well.

There are things we can do when health care workers use family violence.

This might mean the worker:

  • has to follow extra rules

  • isn’t allowed to work for a short time

  • isn’t allowed to be a health care worker for a long time.

We always think about people’s rights when we make decisions about health care workers.

Rights are rules about how everyone should treat you:

  • fairly
  • equally.
