How We Work

The NCCA gathers together Churches and Christian communities which confess the Lord Jesus Christ as God and Saviour according to the Scriptures. We commit to deepen our relationship with each other and to work together towards the fulfilment of common witness, proclamation and service, to the glory of the one God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

Following the Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse, every Australian jurisdiction has moved to implement the National Principles for Child Safe Organisations. But while the principles are national, the compliance frameworks are not, leaving charities and NFPs navigating a patchwork of rules, reporting obligations and cultural expectations. This session will help organisations understand where the laws currently stand, what’s coming next, and how to maintain a culture of safety and compliance across operations. It covers:

  • Revisiting the 10 National Principles for Child Safe Organisations
  • Understanding state-by-state implementation status including fully legislated frameworks, phased rollouts and volunteer programs
  • Navigating Reportable Conduct Schemes across jurisdictions
  • Implementing culturally safe environments for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children and young people
  • Addressing online safety obligations by creating physical and online environments that promote wellbeing
  • Conducting practical implementation steps for charities including undertaking audits and gap analyses and developing or updating policies
  • The importance of delivering tailored child safety training for staff and volunteers
  • Leading voluntary compliance for organisations not yet subject to mandatory frameworks

Presented by: Jessica Lipsett, Director Vocare Law, Brisbane.
