DVAC is committed to being a Child Safe Organisation, as defined under the Queensland Child Safe Organisations Act 2024. Our commitment to safeguarding children, young people, and vulnerable adults is embedded across our governance, practice, and culture.

Guided by the DVAC Safeguarding Policy, we uphold the highest standards of protection from harm, abuse, neglect, and exploitation. This policy outlines our framework for managing safeguarding risks and obligations, ensuring compliance with all Child Safe Standards as well as relevant Queensland and Commonwealth legislation.

To support families, children, and young people, DVAC provides accessible tools and resources that explain how to engage with our services, raise concerns, and share feedback. These resources are designed to empower individuals with clear pathways to seek support and contribute to the continuous improvement of our safeguarding practices. Examples are provided below.
