Safer Care Victoria has published Strategic Ethics Reform Project: What we heard, a report outlining findings from the statewide listening program undertaken between March and June 2026.

Safer Care Victoria, in partnership with the Department of Health, is proud to acknowledge the successful completion of the Safer Care for Kids program.
