Our vision

OzChild improves life opportunities for children across Australia and beyond by delivering a range of integrated, diverse and accessible services that are outcome focussed and recognised for excellence.

Our mission

'Looking after tomorrow, today'

Our mission is set within the framework of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child. OzChild's purpose is to improve the quality of care, life opportunities and status of children by:

  • taking or initiating action to protect or enhance the rights of children
  • providing or enabling direct services, through a variety of disciplines, for the benefit of children
  • influencing decisions or actions of individuals, organisations and governments, where relevant to children and their families.

United Nations convention on the rights of the child

From its inception, OzChild has used the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCROC), along with evidence of healthy child development, to provide the framework for service development and delivery.

The value of UNCROC is its focus on the whole child- the rights that need to be upheld to enable the full range of children's developmental needs to be met in a way which ensures they are able to meet their full potential. This holistic approach is strongly endorsed by OzChild through its mission.

That is why we drawn on the multidisciplinary professional expertise and practice wisdom of our staff working across a wide range of programs. We also rely strongly on the compassion, skills and dedication of our carers and volunteers, and the broad base of our infrastructure support team. Together, every member of OzChild works in their own way to protect and build better futures for our children.
