We believe in children.

45,000 Australian children are unable to live with their parents due to abuse or neglect.*

We urgently need more foster carers! Could you open your home and heart to give a child hope when they need it most? *AIHW 17/18

Become a foster carer

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?
