Our Commitment to Health & Safety
OAC is a child safe organisation where the protection and wellbeing of children is our highest priority. We are unwavering in our commitment to providing a safe, nurturing and inclusive environment, where every child has a
voice, feels safe, valued and respected.
We do this by collectively holding ourselves to account for embedding child safety across every aspect of our organisation. Our Child Protection Framework aligns to the National Principles for Child Safe Organisations and applies
strategies to Prevent, Recognise, Respond and appropriately Refer any reasonable suspicion that a child has been, or is at risk of harm.
We also align with state-specific Child Safe Standards in Victoria, New South Wales, and Queensland, ensuring our practices meet or exceed local regulatory requirements. This layered approach strengthens our commitment to child safety by incorporating nationally recognised principles alongside tailored regional standards. For more information, visit the National ChildSafe Principles, VIC Child Safe Standards, NSW Child Safe Standards, and QLD Child Safe Standards.
Children are supported by Bunji our Health & Safety Mascot, who helps teams and children understand the importance of OAC’s policies and procedures in an age approprate way.
