Welcome to the Adsafe Learning, Resource & Support Hub
On behalf of the Seventh-day Adventist Church in Australia and New Zealand, the Adsafe Resource, Learning and Support Hub provides access to our team, resources and guidance on safeguarding, survivor services and risk management.
At the heart of our ministry is a shared commitment to creating thriving church communities where people feel safe, valued and cared for—where abuse has no place, concerns are heard and taken seriously, and those who have experienced harm are met with compassion, dignity and care.
This resource hub is here for everyone. Through practical resources, training and shared learning, we can build a common understanding of safeguarding and the part each of us can play in creating safer churches. Whether you are a church member, ministry leader, volunteer, or someone seeking support following an experience of harm, we invite you to explore, learn and connect with us.
Together, we can strengthen safety, build trust and help create church communities where healing can begin and people can thrive.
Safeguarding our Church
Christ calls us to lead others - especially children and vulnerable adults - safely to the Kingdom of our Heavenly Father. Their dignity, innocence and wellbeing are sacred, which is why safeguarding is both our priority and our shared responsbility.
Everyone in the Church has a role in building a culture of safety, care and accountability.
Therefore, we are committed to being purposeful and proactive in supporting the Seventh-day Adventist Church organisation in the prevention of sexcual and physical abuse.
