The inaugural Child Safety Research Conference 2006, organised by the Child Safety Research Advisory Group was held in Brisbane on 14-15 November 2006.

The theme, 'Child Protection - integrating research policy practice', placed emphasis on participants engaging with other researchers and practitioners from throughout Queensland and Australia. The conference provided child protection practitioners in both government and non-government sectors with a valuable opportunity to connect with the latest research relevant to their work.

Leading keynote speakers provided inspiration and motivation for participants to share experiences and knowledge in a choice of open forum afternoon workshop sessions. The conference also presented examples of good practice highlighting current initiatives at the forefront of child protection.
