21.01.2022 We would like to thank Luke Donnellan MP and congratulate the State Government of Victoria on the substantial investment of more than $1billion in Victoria’s child and family services system. We couldn’t agree more with the Minister who acknowledged the outstanding work of the child and family services sector, with special mention to our frontline workers, in pivoting so quickly and effectively to sustain services for children and families in very challenging and uncertain circumstances. As an organisation we couldn’t be more proud of our frontline staff members who adapted so quickly to the challenges faced this year and continued to deliver services to children, young people and families.

20.01.2022 The number of potentially vulnerable children in Australia will increase significantly because of COVID-19.

Your donation today can help us deliver programs and services to families in desperate need of additional support. Make a difference today > https://bit.ly/3mpUXIF

09.01.2022 Today on the 12th anniversary of the Black Saturday fires we remember those who lost their lives, lost loved ones, their homes and businesses, and the devastation caused to so many communities and individuals. We also remember and thank those who bravely fought the 400+ fires that ravaged many parts of Victoria - touching directly and indirectly the lives of millions of people in the state, across Australia and internationally. For some, 12 years is a long time from the fires; for others recovery is slower and memories remain raw.
