Our Commitment to Child Safety & Wellbeing

Grampians Health is committed to child and young people safety and wellbeing. Our organisation:

• has a zero tolerance for child abuse.
• has systems to protect children from abuse.
• actively listens to and empowers children and young people.
• recognises that child victim survivors of family violence are victims in their own right.
• promotes and respects the cultural safety for Aboriginal children, for those from other culturally and/or linguistically diverse backgrounds, and for children with a disability.
• provides safe physical and online environments.
• take all allegations, complaints and concerns very seriously, responding to them consistently and in line with the organisations policies and procedures.
