Nationals leader Barnaby Joyce is satisfied with the outcome of the Safe Schools program review.

Mr Joyce declined to say what the government planned to do with the anti-bullying program, but inferred that it would remain in place with greater input from parents and higher professional standards.

"You must work with the authority of the parents ... (and) you must make sure the people who deal with this are qualified people and it happens in a form that is acceptable to the community," he told Sky News on Friday.
