National Statement of Principles for Child Safe Organisations

The Commonwealth Government commissioned the Australian Human Rights Commission to prepare draft National Principles for Child Safe Organisations. The draft was endorsed by Commonwealth, State and Territory Community Service Ministers in October 2017. In order to obtain broader input into the draft principles from all sectors working with children and young people, before finalising the National Principles, a consultation draft has been prepared. The final draft National Principles will be submitted to the Council of Australian Governments (COAG) for endorsement and implementation across all sectors providing services to children.
