Child Safety Commitment
We are committed to providing a child-safe environment through clear policies, procedures, and training. It is a condition of employment that all new staff must acknowledge understanding of the Child Safe Policy and the Child Safe Codes of Conduct prior to commencing.

All roles require a valid Working with Children Check in accordance with the Child Protection (Working with Children) Act 2012 prior to commencement.
