QUEENSLAND'S child protection inquiry has recommended pulling back on the mandatory reporting of suspected child abuse.
Commissioner Tim Carmody on Monday handed down a final report aimed at improving protections for the state's most vulnerable children.
He found there were systemic failures in the state's child protection system, and insufficient resources were being spent on early intervention.
But he also found there'd been an unsustainable increase in the number of children in care, with the number doubling since 2004.
The Carmody report makes 121 recommendations to help reduce the number of children in state care and improve frontline child protection services.
It includes recommendations to tackle the over reporting of matters involving children to Child Safety Services.
The commissioner said there should be a review of existing reporting obligations by police, teachers and other professions under the Child Protection Act 1999.
He found reports and notifications of child abuse in Queensland tripled over the past decade, from 33,697 in 2001-02 to 114,503 in 2011-12.
Mr Carmody said there should be a better system to support families and avoid children being put into state care.
He has spent the past year reviewing the system to provide a roadmap for the Newman government to overhaul the system.
