Creating a Child Safe Organisation – Victoria

About this course

Creating child-safe organisations requires a commitment to protecting children and young people from harm. Organisations and workers must understand their responsibilities for recognising concerns, responding appropriately and maintaining environments where children can thrive safely.

This course focuses on Victorian child safety requirements, including the Victorian Child Safe Standards, Reportable Conduct Scheme, MARAM and the Child Information Sharing Scheme (CISS). Learners will develop an understanding of reporting obligations, indicators of abuse and the practical steps required to support child safety.

How it is delivered

• Structured learning Designed for learners who are new to the topic or want a comprehensive overview. The course explores the subject in detail and typically takes 35–40 minutes to complete.
• Accelerated learning Allows learners who understand the topic to proceed quickly through the course in 20-30 minutes.

Two ways to run it

• Your policies, your scenarios

  We rebuild “Creating a Child Safe Organisation – Victoria” around how your organisation actually works, so the training changes behaviour instead of recording completions.

  Build a custom version

• Ready to run as it is

  Deploy the course off the shelf, with light branding if you want it. Delivered with our partner Safetrac, who will contact you directly.

  Deploy off the shelf

Either way, you can run it through our compliance platform or take it as a SCORM package for the LMS you already have.

What it costs

Off-the-shelf pricing starts at $4,000 a year for up to ten courses with your logo and colours applied, rising with how much you want changed. The tiers are the same across the catalogue, so they are set out once on the pricing page rather than repeated on all 101 courses.

If what you actually need is your own scenarios and your own policies rather than a reskin, that is a custom build, and it is the work Hungry Minds does.

Choosing an LMS

If you don’t currently have an LMS, we can help you select a platform that suits your organisation.

For smaller teams or organisations getting started, we typically recommend LearnWorlds for its ease of use and quick setup.For organisations requiring more advanced functionality and reporting, TalentLMS is a strong option.
