St David's Safe Ministry
The Anglican Diocese of Melbourne is a complex organisation comprising over 200 parishes, congregations and other faith communities. Embedding a culture of child safety requires action at every level of the diocese from the Office of the Archbishop to the smallest parish or congregation and a commitment from their leaders, clergy and lay. Each community is encouraged to engage in this process of self-assessment.
The Parish of St David’s Moorabbin takes child safety seriously and is governed by the policies of the Diocese which can be found at the link below.

How to make a complaint
We take all complaints of misconduct very seriously. This information is intended to help you if you wish to make a complaint, have been or are being abused or harassed by clergy or Church officers, including Regional Bishops, in the Anglican Diocese of Melbourne.
The Kooyoora Office of Professional Standards responds to all complaints of misconduct including sexual, physical, spiritual or emotional abuse by clergy or Church officers. The Kooyoora Office of Professional Standards is as independent as possible from the Diocese but is paid by the Diocese.
The first step in making a complaint is to call the recorded information line at any time on:

If the formal process as outlined in the Professional Standards Act is used, the Director advises the Professional Standards Committee who investigates the matter. A Protocol, Power & Trust in the Church guides the process.
