Child Safety

We welcome all children and young people, including First Nations people, those from diverse cultural and linguistic backgrounds, faiths and spiritualities; people with disabilities; people from LGBTQIA+ communities; people of all ages; those with lived experience or caring responsibilities; and those impacted by socio-economic disadvantage. 

CatholicCare Victoria is committed to providing a culturally safe environment for all children and young people, especially the children and young people from First Nations communities.

We have zero tolerance of all forms of abuse and we will only partner with similarly committed organisations.

We actively support people’s rights and have internal systems and processes to ensure children, young people and vulnerable others are seen, heard, believed and responded to. We take all concerns and any disclosures of abuse seriously, whatever their origin.

We actively work to listen to and empower children and vulnerable people to participate in decisions impacting their lives.
