Child safety is everybody’s business
Raising children is challenging enough, but when you add poverty, homelessness, family violence, and mental illness families can fall apart. Sadly, it is often the children who suffer the most.
2 in 5 children experience domestic and family violence*
(Australian Child Maltreatment Study 2023).In 2024-25, 78,800 children and young people aged under 18 were assisted by specialist homelessness services (Australian Institute of Health and Welfare – Homelessness and homelessness services 2025).
On the 10 September 2026, during National Child Protection Week, we will shine a light on this reality and host The Big Give, a powerful opportunity for the community and corporate Australia to unite in protecting children. Every dollar raised will support the issues that matter most to your organisation — whether that’s domestic and family violence, homelessness, poverty, or strengthening families before crisis escalates. Together, we can help children feel safe, supported, and seen.
Become a BIG GIVE Match Partner
We are seeking to secure $100,000 in matched funding by EOFY. Match Partners are the driving force behind the campaign — doubling donations on the day, inspiring greater generosity, and significantly increasing the overall impact.
In return, we offer genuine engagement opportunities for your organisation – from campaign visibility and brand alignment during National Child Protection Week to meaningful ways to involve your staff.
