Safe Ministry

We take the safety of children and vulnerable people seriously.

All church volunteers and staff must undertake Safe Ministry training and acknowledge their commitment to Safe Ministry. This is a key element for keeping our church safe.

Safe Ministry Requirements

There are different training and safe ministry requirements depending on your role:

All Volunteers - Module 1 Essential Training & Signed Commitment to Safe Ministry
Volunteers in Children & Youth Ministry - Modules 1 & 2 Training plus Kooyoora Clearance (which requires WWCC & Police Check)
Parish Council Members - Module 3 Training (available via separate link) in addition to Module 1 & Signed Commitment
