Abstract
Child abuse is an international phenomenon occurring in all socioeconomic groups. Reports of child abuse continue to increase and regardless of where nurses work, they are likely to see abused children and may be the first contact for an abused child. In addition, nurses are mandated in some Australian states to report suspected child abuse. However, the literature addressing nurses' roles in child protection is limited and the Australian perspective is particularly unrepresented. This paper informs Australian nurses about child protection legislation, types of abuse, and nurses' roles in child protection.
