We are committed to the safety, care and wellbeing of all people who access our services, particularly children and those who are vulnerable due to age, illness, trauma or disability or any other reason. We seek to provide a safe environment for the delivery of services. When any risks or issues arise, we will respond immediately to address concerns and meet any reporting requirements.
We support diversity and inclusion: We embrace, support and strengthen diversity within our community, our services and our organisation. We respond to all members of the community equitably, with respect for individual identities. This experience of diversity includes, but is not limited to, gender identity, sexual orientation, race, cultural background, abilities, religious beliefs and lived experience.

We commit to reconciliation, working with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples: We commit to working in a collaborative, meaningful and respectful way with the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community, listening to their voices, to achieve generations of success for their children, young people and families. The WCS Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP) sets out our actions to fulfil our vision and commitment to reconciliation. These actions embed reconciliation in our operations and will lead to new strategies and initiatives in areas of priority. For more information, see the WCS Reconciliation Action Plan.
