That the rights of all children and young people in Victoria are recognised, respected and defended.
What we do
We:
- provide independent scrutiny and oversight of services for children and young people, particularly those in the out-of-home-care, child protection and youth justice systems
- advocate for best practice policy, program and service responses to meet the needs of children and young people
- support and regulate organisations that work with children and young people to prevent abuse and make sure these organisations have child safe practices
- bring the views and experiences of children and young people to the attention of government and the community
- promote the rights, safety and wellbeing of children and young people.
