The National Safe Schools Framework (NSSF) is a collaborative effort by the Commonwealth, State and Territory government and non-government school authorities, and other key stakeholders to achieve a shared vision of physical and emotional safety and wellbeing for all students in all Australian schools. The aim of the NSSF is to assist school communities in building safe and supportive schools where bullying, harassment and violence are minimised and students receive support on issues related to child abuse and neglect. The NSSF is underpinned by a set of guiding principles and related key elements/approaches that schools can put in place to effectively provide a safe and supportive learning environment.
The state-wide NSSF project is being implemented in Education Queensland by providing professional development, including a state conference and regional forums, and by funding district and school projects. The NSSF kit, including the Framework Document (new window) 
and the Implementation Manual (new window) was distributed to State schools in 2005. A Resource Pack (new window) was provided to districts.
