The Child Safe Standards help create environments where children can grow, learn, and thrive without harm. They are built on children's rights and provide a clear framework for keeping children safe.
Businesses or organisations working with or providing spaces and facilities for anyone aged 17 years and under must implement the 10 Child Safe Standards.
The Universal Principle is about creating environments that make Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people feel culturally safe, which broadly means welcome, safe, valued, included and respected. A child safe organisation should include the Universal Principle in every part of how they apply the Standards.
