About Us
Blue Light Victoria is committed to inspiring young people to make positive changes in their lives, creating opportunities and environments that support their development, wellbeing, and future success. By ensuring they have the resources, guidance and support necessary, we empower young people to thrive and reach their full potential, while fostering a strong connection to their community.
As one of the only youth organisations partnering with police, emergency services and community organisations, we provide young people with unique one-of-a-kind learning experiences not offered by other youth programs. This collaboration gives unparalleled opportunities for young people to engage with and learn from prosocial role models, enhancing resilience and personal growth.
We work with young people from diverse backgrounds, abilities and experiences. Through a proactive, trauma-informed approach, we deliver youth programs that:
- enhance connection and positive engagement with peers and community
- equip young people with tools to support their mental, physical and social wellbeing
- strengthen relationships between them, our partners and key stakeholders.

Diversity, equity, and inclusion
We have a strong commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion and view these elements as essential to fulfilling our vision and mission.
In keeping with our core values of connection, growth, innovation and respect, we continue to listen to, learn from and embrace the differences and perspectives of young people, partners, and the communities that we work with.
We are committed to embracing diversity and eliminating all forms of discrimination in the provision of our services. We welcome all people irrespective of ethnicity, lifestyle choice, faith, sexual orientation, and gender identity.

We are innovative and actively seek to make a difference, differently. We ensure that our programs, activities, and initiatives are relevant to the changing needs of young people.
We believe all people have inherent value, regardless of culture, belief, personal abilities, or sexual orientation. We treat everyone with empathy and dignity.
Child safety
We are committed to the safety and wellbeing of all children and young people. This is the primary focus of our care and decision-making. Blue Light Victoria has zero tolerance for child abuse.
Every person within Blue Light Victoria has a responsibility to understand the important and specific role they play, individually and collectively, to ensure the safety and wellbeing of all young people. This is at the forefront of all that we do and every decision that we make.
We are committed to providing a safe environment where young people feel safe, and their voices are heard about decisions that affect their lives. We pay particular attention to the cultural safety of first nations young people and young people from culturally and/or linguistically diverse backgrounds. As well as the safety of young people with a disability or of a diverse gender.
