Adoption of the Child Safety & Wellbeing Policy
Moonee Valley City Council reaffirms its commitment to being a child safe organisation, with the adoption of its Child Safety and Wellbeing Policy.
Under the Victorian Child Safe Standards, Council is obliged to develop the policy. Prior to presenting the final version, it was open to community feedback from stakeholder groups as well as with the broader community. The feedback received was considered in the Policy that was adopted by the Council.
The Policy provides guidance to all levels of the Council to keep children and young people safe and outlines the responsibilities and practices required to ensure that we continue to promote and embed a child safe culture.
Audit & Risk Committee: Biannual Report and Performance Assessment
A report was tabled and noted on the key activities overseen by the committee, which meets four times a year to provide assurance to the Council that it is meeting its governance and compliance obligations appropriately, as well as managing its risks effectively.
Highlights of the previous six months included reviews of the Annual Financial Report and Annual Performance Statement, completion of internal audit reports, monitoring progress against actions arising from internal audit reports, and updates on the implementation of the Risk Management System.
The committee also completed an Annual Performance Assessment for 2025 and confirmed that all applicable obligations required under the Charter were addressed during the reporting period.
