The ACC is committed to ensuring that our churches and ministries are safe for everyone.

It is a requirement for all ACC churches to adopt and implement a suitable child protection policy.  The ACC Safer Churches strategy includes guidelines, procedures and templates to assist our churches as they implement their child protection policy, as well as offering training courses for credential holders, board members and volunteers.  ACC credential holders are required to undergo safer churches training every three years to maintain their ministry credential. No matter who we minister to, we want that ministry to be safe, encouraging and strengthening for both those being ministered to, and those who are serving within that ministry.

If you have concerns regarding the safety of children or other vulnerable people at an ACC Church, please call the ACC Safer Churches Helpline: 1800 070 511.
