The purpose of this report is to provide assurance that the Australian Province of the Society of Jesus is fulfilling its moral and legal obligations in relation to promoting and ensuring the safety and welfare of all people, but in particular children, who come into contact with our ministries.
The annual report includes updates on the Province’s safeguarding activities, as well as reports of abuse that have been received by the Province in the last year. This includes reports that relate to previous decades and to people who are now deceased.
‘The Society of Jesus in Australia is committed to fostering an environment that is safe, caring and nurturing for all children and vulnerable adults and to ensuring that they are protected from harm in all our institutions,’ says Australian Jesuit Provincial Fr Quyen Vu SJ.
