Australian aboriginal flag, Torres Straight Islander Flag, LGBTQI+ Flag In the spirit of reconciliation, BCYF acknowledges the Wadawurrung and Eastern Maar People who are the Traditional Owners of the land on which we work. We pay respect to them and their elders past, present and emerging, and recognise their continuing connection to Country. We acknowledge their wisdom and appreciate that their communities supported and empowered each other long before us, as we strive to support and empower our community with inclusion, commitment and integrity.

BCYF recognises the diverse needs of our community and ensures our services are inclusive. We welcome all children, young people and their families of any age, culture, religion, sex, gender, sexuality, and ability.

We work collaboratively with people and partner organisations who also support our diverse client group. Interpreter and translator services are available to all our clients upon request.
