We believe in children.

Will you help keep me safe?

Burned, beaten and starved. No child should ever suffer like 6-year-old Elliot* did.
Your support now can help children like Elliot rebuild their lives and recover from the effects of trauma.
*Names changed and models used to protect privacy.

What we do

Barnardos Australia believes all children and young people deserve caring families in which they can grow safely and fulfil their potential.

We work together with children, young people and families to break the cycle of disadvantage, creating safe, nurturing and stable homes, connected to family and community.

How can you help?

Our impact in 2019 - 2020

Have you ever thought about becoming a foster carer?

If you are interested in becoming a foster carer and would like to understand what is involved in fostering a child then come along to one of our free information sessions. These are held throughout the year at various locations and times so why not find the closest one to you.

No questions are too big or small.
