Policies & Procedures

Background to our Policy Manual Development

Early in 2019, the Joint Committee of Management (JCM) approved a complete review and rewrite of the Policy Manual. Version 2 of the Policy Manual was adopted in March 2023. It includes a restructuring of the document and new policies to comply with the Victorian Child Safety Standards.

The JCM acknowledges over 600 hours has been committed by the house managers, the Network Manager and the JCM to create the Policy Manual. They have made the PDF version of the Policy Manual available online however the Word version is only made available to third parties under Agreement.

Word Version of the Policy Manual

We are happy to work with other organisations in the continuous development of the Policy Manual.

If you would like a word version there is a small fee:

  • $500 (exc GST) for organisations with annual revenue under $150,000 
  • $1000 (ex GST) for organisations with annual revenue above $150,000.

By accepting a copy of the Word version on the Policy Manual you agree to work collaboratively over an 18 month period with the JCM to continue to develop the Policy Manual for all users.
