ONCALL Group Australia is driven by our values and passion to help others.

-
ONCALL respect and commit to the rights of everyone’s freedom to live how they choose. There are basic principles of Human Rights.
Freedom
Respect
Equality
Dignity
There are laws that make sure we are all aware of Human Rights and some that are specific to the rights of people with disability. This is called the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with a Disability (UNCRPD).
-
You have a right to feel safe and to be treated with dignity regardless of where you live, what life choices you have made, your age or what your personal circumstances might be.
If you experience violence or abuse, you should contact your key person at ONCALL, your family, a friend or any person that you trust to report this information. It is not OK for you to feel unsafe, and there is no time anyone should ask you to keep secrets, even if they say it is OK or that it is the right thing to do because you are a child, and they are an adult.
If you are not confident reporting something that makes you feel uncomfortable or unsafe, an advocate can help you.
-
ONCALL is committed to child safety and ensuring all necessary steps are taken to realise the rights of children. This includes acknowledging the entitlement of children to an environment that encourages their development and autonomy, and actively safeguarding all children from harm.
ONCALL will maintain an environment that ensures children and young people feel safe and have all information provided in appropriate, age friendly language. Children and young people in ONCALL services will be encouraged to raise concerns and express their feelings in a manner that feels safe.
ONCALL respects the cultural, religious, lifestyle, personal and identity choices of children and young people and actively encourage individual expression.
-
ONCALL will encourage and support the autonomy of children, young people, and adults with disability in decision making in all aspects. This includes upholding each person’s right to be actively involved in making decisions that are about them and to support access to, and connections with, the people, places and activities that are important to each person.
