Duty of care

Zero tolerance policy
Anglicare WA has a zero-tolerance approach to child abuse. We are committed to taking all necessary steps to ensure all children and young people we work with across Western Australia are provided a safe environment.
All about people
Anglicare WA believes that all children, young people, their families and communities should be equally protected regardless of nationality, religious or political beliefs, gender, ages, family, social background and culture, economic status, physical or mental health, or criminal background.
