Chaplaincy Australia is committed to continuing to create even safer places for children and young people, along with every local church and everyone who is in ministry being aware of their responsibilities towards protecting children.

Chaplaincy Australia has actively addressed many of the points that emerged at the Royal Commission in October 2014, and will continue to do so to build a stronger culture of transparency and accountability when it comes to creating a safe environment for children and youth.

Chaplaincy Australia has adopted a robust Child Protection Policy, and all network members are required to adhere to it. A significant aspect of this commitment is the Safer Churches Training which is now  a requirement of network membership that all Chaplains and Chaplaincy Associates have also completed this Safer Churches training.

The Safer Churches Training Course is available online.
