IMMIGRATION Minister Scott Morrison insists children being held in detention in Nauru are in safe conditions, despite serious health risks identified in a leaked report.

The report, compiled by five clinical experts, found children were not being properly screened for diseases and there was a lack of a child protection framework.

Conditions in detention are "crowded, hot and humid", with high levels of mental illness and self-harm, the report published in the Guardian says.

But Mr Morrison said conditions in Nauru had dramatically improved since the coalition took office in 2013.

"That report was of some time ago," he told reporters in Melbourne on Friday.

"There's been significant investment put in place by the government to upgrade the facilities and services and conditions in Nauru."

Mr Morrison said Operation Sovereign Borders commander Angus Campbell recently visited the island and noticed the improvement.

"I received a very positive report from him," Mr Morrison said.
