The head of the global Hillsong Church says it has done everything it can to ensure it is safe for children.

Hillsong founder and senior pastor Brian Houston says new child protection policies and procedures have been rolled out across the whole church, including setting up a safe church office.

“We have really I think done everything we can to set the framework within the culture of our whole church where everybody, especially obviously those in any form of leadership, understand the processes/procedures that would be rolled out,” Mr Houston told the child abuse royal commission.

“We have been very very supportive of the goal to make sure our church is as safe a church as it could possibly be.”
