A small but powerful change.
Did you know that the number of children needing child protection services has increased by 27% in the past five years* across Australia? This means that 1 in every 33 children needs child protection services. That’s one in every classroom.
Concerning reports show that Victoria is on track to have almost 25,000 children in out-of-home care by 2026. This is more than any other state and territory and could increase even more due to the ongoing impacts of COVID-19.
As one of Australia's largest independent family service organisations, we are educating, supporting and caring for some of the most vulnerable people in our community every day - which is only possible with the support of people like you.
