Child Safe Statement

Dhauwurd-Wurrung Elderly & Community Health Services Inc. is a Child Safe Organisation where children are safe, support and respected as individuals.

We promote the safety and best interest of the children we work with.

We recognise that although all children are vulnerable, some children face additional vulnerabilities. As an organisation we promote:

  • The cultural safety of Aboriginal children.
  • The cultural safety of children from culturally and linguistically diverse communities.
  • The safety of children with a disability.
