NCAB is made up of 18 volunteer experts and chaired by the Hon Chief Justice Diana Bryant. The members include some of Australia’s leading experts in the field of bullying and cyber bullying – including psychologists, academics, researchers and educators.
NCAB works closely with school communities, governments and industry. It plays an important role in speaking out for children and advocating for their right to be free from violence and bullying.
Basing its position on the Kandersteg Declaration against Bullying in Children and Youth 2007, NCAB holds that governments, communities, organisations, schools and individuals must take action to protect children from bullying.
