CAN DO is committed to transparency and accountability. The Coordination Unit of CAN DO is hosted by a Lead Agency, Caritas Australia, and so we align our work with Caritas’ policies. These include:
Code of Conduct
Caritas’ Code of Conduct outlines the expectations of how we behave as individuals, towards each other and those we serve.
Child Protection Policy
We will not tolerate any form of child abuse or sexual exploitation. At CAN DO, we take our duty of care towards children very seriously. We commit to the protection of children from all types of harm, abuse and exploitation when delivering our aid and development activities both overseas and within Australia. Read Caritas’ Child Protection Policy.
Preventing Sexual Exploitation Abuse and Harassment Policy
We do not tolerate any kind of sexual exploitation, abuse or harassment (SEAH). We are committed to preventing and addressing SEAH throughout our organisation, with partners, in programs and in all that we do. Read Caritas’Preventing Sexual Exploitation, Abuse and Harassment Policy.
You can find other Caritas Australia policies on its website.

ACFID Code of Conduct
Our Lead Agency, Caritas Australia, is a member of the Australian Council for International Development (ACFID). This means that it is a signatory to the ACFID Code of Conduct, which is a voluntary, self-regulatory sector code of good practice. For more information on the Code, visit the ACFID website www.acfid.asn.au or email ACFID.
CAN DO is supported by the Australian Government’s Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT) through the Australian Humanitarian Partnership (AHP).
