In Australia, statutory child protection is the responsibility of state and territory governments. Child protection departments and agencies provide assistance to children and young people who are suspected of experiencing abuse, neglect or harm, or whose parents or carers are unable to provide adequate care or protection.

AEPL is committed to promoting the safety and wellbeing of all children and young people and has adopted child safeguarding policies and procedures that support prevention, reporting, and appropriate responses to concerns about child safety.
