Founded in 2015, Body Safety Australia promotes childhoods free from violence where children enjoy equitable and respectful relationships.
We have a strong commitment to provide all communities with body safety education that celebrates children of all socio-economic status, religions, abilities, sexualities, genders, cultures and/or family structure.
Why Whole Community?
When we engage an entire community, children are supported at home, at school and online and the onus of protection is taken from our most vulnerable and placed squarely on the adults who care for them.
Our Commitment to Child Safety
Body Safety Australia is committed to keeping children and young people safe by empowering the whole community in primary prevention education. We value and empower children and young people's voices in our programs.
We acknowledge the diversity in our communities and provide all our highly qualified (and screened) staff with written guidance on appropriate conduct and behaviour towards children, steps and procedures to report any disclosures and providing support during the process.
Our commitment to supporting these values is reflected in the fact that we are a women-led organisation with a commitment to addressing and reducing bias against marginalised peoples. Our team is comprised of individuals from varied communities including: LGBTQIA+, Aboriginal, disability, and culturally and linguistically diverse.
