What are the Child Safe Standards in Australia?

The Child Safe Standards are a set of principles designed to help organisations create safer environments for children. They are legally required in several Australian states and apply to all organisations that work with or provide services to children and young people.

Complying with child safety laws helps protect children from harm, ensures legal accountability, and reduces reputational and operational risks. It also demonstrates an organisation’s commitment to creating a safe and trusted environment.

Any organisation that works with children – including schools, sporting clubs, religious groups, charities, and local councils – must meet child safeguarding requirements, including implementing the Child Safe Standards and Working With Children Checks.

Organisations can strengthen child safety by conducting risk audits, developing clear policies, providing staff training, and embedding the Child Safe Standards into everyday operations. Partnering with experts like Child Safeguard ensures these practices are effective and compliant.
