Below are the eleven child safe standards. The Minister for Education has set out in Ministerial Order No. 1359 what specific actions schools need to take to meet the child safe standards.

All standards: School governing authorities must take account the diversity of all children, including (but not limited to) the needs of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children, children from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds, children with disabilities and children who are vulnerable (schools only).
