Barnardos > About Barnardos > Our History

The history of Barnardos Australia began with the first migration of children from the UK in 1921. Barnardos Australia takes its values and direction from the work of its founder, Dr Thomas Barnardo, whose life is outlined. The work of Barnardos Australia deals particularly with the prevention of abuse and entry into care. Barnardos operates children’s family centres, permanency programs for 'out-of-home' care, adolescent services and advocacy work. The Barnardos 'family' of agencies in United Kingdom, Ireland, New Zealand and Australia have adapted to local conditions. Incorporated in Australia in 1995, Barnardos Australia maintains links to Barnardos’ international family.
