This morning we celebrated Wear It Purple Day with a morning tea at our Boronia site!
At IOE, we’re proud to continue to create a welcoming and inclusive community where everyone is encouraged to be themselves, feel valued and know they belong.
Wear It Purple Day is an important reminder that everyone deserves to feel safe, supported and accepted for who they are.
And we’re not finished celebrating just yet! 💜 We’ll be keeping the purple spirit going with a second celebration and afternoon tea, bringing our team together again to celebrate inclusion, diversity and belonging.

In the lead-up to National Child Protection Week (6–12 September), we’ve been focusing on safe recruitment at IOE.
We recently updated our Recruitment and Selection Policy and Procedure, and staff from across IOE involved in recruitment, interviewing and reference checking completed Bravehearts’ Focused Learning: Child Safe Recruitment, followed by a 1.5-hour IOE workshop to put the learning into practice.
Together, we worked through our own recruitment processes, including interview questions, reference checking and screening, and looked at how we can make child safety an even stronger part of each step.
Safe recruitment is about much more than Police Checks and Working with Children Checks. It’s about screening in the right values, not just screening out risk, and making sure we are recruiting people with the skills, attitudes and understanding to keep children and vulnerable people safe.
It was a great opportunity to build on what we already do and keep improving our practice and a fitting focus as we head towards National Child Protection Week and its theme: Every Conversation Matters: Shifting Conversation to Action.

Freemasons Gala 2026

Last weekend, IOE attended the annual Freemasons Gala, a fantastic fundraising event hosted by Freemasons Monash Gully District.
The Gala raises vital funds for our unique Sibling Support Program, supporting siblings of children with disability to connect, have fun and build lasting friendships.
We are incredibly grateful for the ongoing support and generosity of the Freemasons Monash Gully District and Freemasons Foundation Victoria , who continue to make this program possible.

Thank you to all of our youth volunteers!
