In 2009 the Council of Australian Governments (COAG) endorsed the introduction of the National Framework for Protection of Australia's Children 2009-2020 (National Framework), an agenda for improving the safety and wellbeing of Australia's children. The National Framework does not specifically address the issue of corporal punishment. However, the Australian Government noted in its 2012 surveillance submission to the Convention of the Rights of the Child that positive parenting is supported and promoted through the National Framework and through the Family Support Program. These aim to complement work done by states and territories by providing integrated services for families with skilled family support and early childhood workers. Through this work, education regarding positive parenting is disseminated in parent education programs and early childhood health care and education activities (Attorney-General's Department, c. 2012).In the sections that follow, information is presented about the current laws on the use of corporal punishment. Table 1 documents details of current law by state and territory on the use of punishment by parents, and Tables 2 and 3 provide details of current law by state and territory regarding the use of corporal punishment in early education and childcare centres and primary and secondary schools, respectively.
