Our Service Excellence guide is our commitment to provide you with great service.

Child Safe City - Our Commitment
Darebin City Council prides itself on being a child safe organisation with zero tolerance for child abuse. We recognise our legal and moral responsibilities to keep children and young people safe from harm; we promote their health and wellbeing, and support their best interests.

We have policies, procedures, and training in place that support our leadership team, employees and volunteers to achieve these commitments.

We create environments where all children, including children with a disability, Aboriginal children, and children from cultural and linguistically diverse backgrounds, have a voice - they are listened to, their views are respected and they contribute to how we plan for, design and implement our services and activities.
