    The Catholic Archdiocese of Melbourne has a universal expectation for the protection of children. It is resolutely committed to ensuring that all those engaged in the Church promote the inherent dignity of children and young people and their fundamental right to be respected and nurtured in a safe environment. This is particularly so for the most vulnerable children, including aboriginal children, those from culturally and/or linguistically diverse backgrounds and children with a disability. The Catholic Church has a moral, legal and mission-driven responsibility to create nurturing environments where children are respected, their voices are heard and where they are safe and feel safe.

  • Planet Wheeler

    Maureen and Tony Wheeler have a long philanthropic history. In their travels as founders and authors of Lonely Planet Publications, they saw first-hand the need to support those more in need than themselves. They began supporting international development decades ago and as Lonely Planet book sales grew over the years, so did their passion for giving. Lonely Planet first established a policy of donating a fixed percentage of profits in 1987. The sale of Lonely Planet Publications saw their philanthropic efforts take on a life of their own and Planet Wheeler Foundation was born. Planet Wheeler Foundation has no religious or political affiliations.

Drawing on our history and experience, we continue to grow and reach more children through our programs and humanitarian responses in Australia and overseas.
