Mission Our Vision ISS Australia works to protect, defend and support children, families and individuals in disadvantaged situations as a consequence of global movement, particularly where these circumstances have lead to the separation of families and children. ISS Australia works to ensure that respect for human rights is accorded to every individual. Our Principles ISS promotes and protects the rights of families, children and other vulnerable persons according to the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child and other international human rights standards. The best interests of the child are paramount in all our work. As ISS celebrates diversity, it continually strives to practice in a culturally appropriate manner. The principles of neutrality, confidentiality, independence and impartiality are at the heart of the organisation’s work. ISS’s shared commitment to families, children and individuals unites its global network. Products ISS Australia is a leader in its field. Its inter-country services include: - International Parental Child Abduction (IPCA) Support IPCA occurs when a parent takes a child to another country without the other parent's consent, or refuses to return a child from overseas after an agreed period. ISS Australia offers help to parents and families affected by IPCA, with a focus on the best interests of the cild and the utmost respect for the privacy and confidentiality of those we work with.
