Ocean Mind is committed to providing a child-safe environment where children and young people are safe and feel safe, and their voices are heard about decisions that affect their lives. Particular attention will be paid to the cultural safety of Aboriginal children and children from culturally and/or linguistically diverse backgrounds, as well as the safety of children with a disability.

Every person involved in Ocean Mind is responsible for understanding the important and specific role they play individually and collectively to ensure that the well-being and safety of all children and young people are at the forefront of all they do and every decision they make. Please see our Child Safeguarding Policy for more information

We pay our respects to their elders, past, present and emerging and acknowledge their deep ongoing connection to and care for the sea and land Country.
