We are committed to the safety, participation, and empowerment of all children.

We have zero-tolerance of child abuse, and all allegations and safety concerns will be treated very seriously and consistently with our robust policies and procedures.

Optimal Care Australia has legal and moral obligations to contact authorities when we are worried about a child’s safety, which we follow rigorously.

We are committed to preventing child abuse and identifying risks early, and removing and reducing these risks. This includes having robust human resources and recruitment practices for all staff. We are also committed to regularly training and educating our staff and volunteers on child abuse risks.

Optimal Care support and respect all children, as well as their families and our staff. We are committed to the cultural safety of Aboriginal children, the cultural safety of children from culturally and/or linguistically diverse backgrounds, and to providing a safe environment for children with a disability.

We have specific policies, procedures, and training in place that support our team, staff to achieve these commitments.
