Our commitment
Project 4 Hope is committed to the safety, wellbeing and rights of every child and young person we work with. We have zero tolerance for child abuse and harm, and we follow Victoria's Child Safe Standards.
We welcome and respect Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander young people, young people from every culture and background, LGBTIQA+ young people, and young people with disability.
If you're a young person, this part is for you
- You have the right to be safe and to feel safe.
- Supreet will never ask you to keep a secret or meet him somewhere private.
- If something doesn't feel right, it's not your fault. Tell an adult you trust, like a parent, teacher or coach.
- You can also contact us at supreet@project4hope.com.au or 0481 303 031.
- Kids Helpline: 1800 55 1800 (free, any time). In danger? Call 000.
How we keep young people safe
- Checked: our founder, Supreet Singh, holds a current Victorian Working with Children Check (2624320A-01, expires 19 December 2027).
- Supervised: school, club and workplace sessions always have host staff present.
- Mentoring with consent: one-on-one mentoring for under-18s needs parent or guardian consent. Sessions run in open, visible settings, or online through a secure video platform with a parent or guardian aware.
- Clear contact rules: we only contact young people through our business email or phone, between 8am and 6pm.
- No transport: we never drive young people we work with.
- Photos only with consent: with consent from the host organisation or the young person's parent or guardian.
Young people sometimes message Supreet Talks on social media. Supreet replies briefly and kindly, points them to a trusted adult or support service (like Kids Helpline), and doesn't have ongoing private conversations with under-18s. Mentoring only happens with parent or guardian consent, through business email, phone or video.
Our Child Safety and Wellbeing Policy, Code of Conduct and Reporting and Response Procedure are available on request. Learn more about Victoria's Child Safe Standards at vic.gov.au/child-safe-standards.
