​In 2010, the Victorian Government established Safe Schools to ensure schools are safe places for all students, including lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and intersex (LGBTI+) students, and are free of discrimination.

It was born out of the need identified by school communities, parents and teachers for greater support for LGBTI+ students, who are at higher risks of bullying and suicide, and to ensure that schools create safe and inclusive environments.

A key part of the program is to provide professional development and training for secondary school teachers so that they are equipped to support LGBTI students. 

The Safe Schools program is managed and delivered directly by the Department of Education and Training.
