At Academies Australasia College (AAC), we are committed to providing a safe, healthy, and supportive environment for all students, staff, and visitors. Our Health, Safety, and Wellbeing Policy reflects our responsibility to ensure that the physical, mental, and emotional well-being of all members of the AAC community is prioritized, safeguarded, and actively promoted.

To foster an environment where students and staff feel physically and psychologically safe, respected, and valued.
To promote health and well-being through support services, wellness programs, and mental health initiatives.
To ensure effective emergency preparedness, including clear protocols for handling accidents, emergencies, and critical incidents.
To engage all stakeholders in maintaining and improving health and safety standards through continuous communication, education, and training.

Key Principles:
