Child abuse and exploitation in Australia is an urgent, growing, and
critical problem. 

On Us coalition is asking Australian businesses to recognise the
important role they play in prioritising the safeguarding of children
and young people by joining On Us coalition.

  • Sustainable development: focusing on children’s rights contributes to a more sustainable and equitable world, a driving force for long-term business success 

  • Legal compliance: incorporating child safeguarding measures ensures compliance with laws and regulations aimed at protecting children and young people, such as child labour laws, human trafficking, age-appropriate marketing, and data protection regulation

acknowledgement of country and abuse victims

The On Us: Australian Business Coalition for Safeguarding Children acknowledges Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the Traditional Custodians of the land and waters across Australia in which we share. We honour and pay our respects to Elders past and present and acknowledge the many thousands of years in which First Nations’ peoples have raised their children to be safe and strong. We also acknowledge the spirit and courage of victims and survivors of childhood abuse, exploitation and violence. Their efforts over many years have inspired our commitment to make changes at every level to better protect the children of today.
