Barnardos is Australia’s leading child welfare agency. Through a diverse range of integrated welfare programs and services Barnardos is committed to helping protect the lives of thousands of Australia's children and young people who suffer the traumas of neglect and abuse and the humiliation of poverty and homelessness. Most of these children are innocent victims of desperate and dire situations.

Barnardos is a non-denominational, non-government welfare organisation. We work with families, Government departments and other agencies to improve the lives of children throughout Australia.

For over 120 years Barnardos has been at the forefront of child welfare service provision and has embraced a tradition of innovation and holistic approach in our quest to find real, permanent solutions for Australian children in desperate need.

Barnardos builds relationships between children, young people, their families and the community. We advocate for children and young people and contribute to community knowledge about the issues that impact on society as a whole.

By supporting the work of Barnardos you can create new dreams and outcomes to offer the adults of tomorrow a future free from neglect.
