We extend this acknowledgement to all First Nations’ Peoples and pay our respects to their Elders past and present and acknowledge sovereignty was never ceded.

Victoria Police, DFFH, DH and DE in consultation with relevant community-based peak bodies, mainstream and culturally specific grassroots organisations commit to ending police as first respondents for young people (10-25 year olds). Instead, health, education and community services respond to young people to provide therapeutic, practical and social supports to ensure all young people can engage in civic life pro-socially.
