Play Matters Australia (PMA) is committed to the safety of children and young people across the organisation.
All children and young people have a right to feel safe and to be safe at all times. PMA will not tolerate any abuse or neglect of children or young people involved with our programs.
At Play Matters Australia, the safety and cultural wellbeing of every child is core to who we are. As part of strengthening our commitment to deepen our understanding and everyday application of the Child Safe Standards we have engaged all stakeholders as part of the organisation to engage with Safe Play Matters training over a year-long period. Commencing in June 2025 through to July 2026.
What is Safe Play Matters?
Play Matters Australia engaged BBSafe Consulting and Connecting The Dots Through Culture to deliver a series of ten one-hour webinars unpacking key themes and learnings relating to the 10 Child Safe Standards. These training sessions are additional on top our mandatory Child Protection Training, and are provided to all team members, facilitators and volunteers to deepen their understanding of the building blocks of safety, including application of the universal principle.
