In response to certain critical or sensitive events, Adoption Services is required to contact parties to an adoption order made in Queensland, and may contact the CSSC in the geographic area which a person lives to request their assistance with contacting the person or providing sensitive information.
Interstate adoption service units and overseas adoption agencies may contact Adoption Services to request that contact be made with, or a service be provided to, a person affected by an adoption order made in the interstate or overseas jurisdiction, who now lives in Queensland.
