As a not-for-profit, community-based organization, we are overseen by a diverse Board of Management comprised of dedicated volunteers.

Our Board of Management works closely with our Centre Manager to establish policies and procedures that ensure we provide viable programs that are relevant to the growing needs of our community.

Child safety is of utmost importance to us at Lyrebird Community Centre. We have implemented and abide by our Child Safe Policy, based on the Child Safe Standards in Victoria (2022). We have a zero-tolerance policy for child abuse and work to raise awareness about the importance of child safety within our center and the community. We are dedicated to protecting children from abuse and neglect and maintaining a child safe environment.

We promote cultural safety for Aboriginal children, children from culturally and/or linguistically diverse backgrounds, and children with disabilities. Discriminatory practices are not tolerated, and we value diversity. Our employees undergo professional development to ensure they can identify and respond to situations of abuse and neglect, and we empower children to speak up and express their thoughts and concerns.

At Lyrebird Community Centre, we listen to and empower our community members, especially children, to act on any concerns they may have. Our policies and procedures reflect our commitment to keeping children safe. We are proud to be a part of our community's growth and look forward to building on the strengths within our community for a better future.
