Mission Vision
OUR MISSION & VISION

Our Mission is to prevent child sexual assault and exploitation in our society.

Our Vision is to make Australia the safest place in the world to raise a child.

Our Guiding Principles are to, at all times, tenaciously pursue our Mission without fear, favour or compromise and to continually ensure that the best interests, human rights and protection of the child are placed before all other considerations.

Our Guiding Values are to, at all times, do all things to serve our Mission with uncompromising integrity, respect, energy and empathy ensuring fairness, justice, and hope for all children and those who protect them.

The 3 Piers to Prevention

Bravehearts works tirelessly to make Australia the safest place in the world to raise a child through the 3 Piers to Prevention:

Educate
All children and young people receive evidence-based, age-appropriate personal safety education.

Empower
All adults are trained, aware and motivated to protect children, and adequate specialist counselling and support is available to all child and adult survivors of child sexual assault and exploitation and those who support them. 

Protect
All systems of community and government engage effectively and respond at all times in the best interests of the child.

The 3 Piers to Prevention is a culmination of intensive research into how to reduce the incidence and ultimately, prevent the occurrence of child sexual assault and exploitation.

Congratulations Bravehearts for your ongoing work educating, empowering and protecting Australia’s children and adult survivors of child sexual assault.
– Julia Gillard, Former Australian Prime Minister
