Victoria's Child Safe Standards were put in place in 2016 to protect children and young people from harm and abuse. Since their introduction, the Child Safe Standards have increased children's and young people's safety in organisations that provide services for them.

The Standards will increase protection for children and young people and provide clarity for organisations that must comply with the Standards.

Several Child safe Regulators help institutions like Mary MacKillop Catholic Regional College attest to Child safety. See the bodies below:

• Department of Families Fairness and Housing
• Department of Health
• Department of Education and Training
• Victorian Registration and Qualifications Authority
• Commission for Children and Young People

Mary MacKillop’s Commitment Statement to Child Safety commits to providing a safe and nurturing culture for all children and young people in the Diocese of Sale through:

1. Upholding the primacy of the safety and well-being of children and young people
2. Empowering families, children, young people and staff to have a voice and raise concerns
3. Implementing rigorous risk management and employment practices.
