Child Safety
New Child Safe standards started in Victoria on 1 July 2022 to better protect children
The eleven new standards will replace Victoria’s current seven standards and principles. They set out minimum requirements and outline the actions organisations must take to keep children and young people safe.
Key changes include new requirements:
- to involve families and communities in organisations’ efforts to keep children and young people safe
- for a greater focus on safety for Aboriginal children and young people
- to manage the risk of child abuse in online environments
- for greater clarity on the governance, systems and processes to keep children and young people safe.
The standards are changing to provide more consistency with standards across the rest of Australia and to strengthen protection from child abuse.
A full version of the new standards can be found here. Netball Victoria will be reviewing our Child Safety resources and will share updates in due course.
