What is the Australian Childhood Foundation?
The Australian Childhood Foundation is an independent children’s charity working in a number of ways to prevent child abuse and reduce the harm it causes to children, families and the community.
Counselling.
We provide a range of specialist counselling services for children and young people affected by abuse and for their families.
Advocacy for children.
We speak out for effective protective and support services for children and young people. All our programs affirm the importance of children.
Education.
We provide community and professional education, consultancy and debriefing programs. These programs aim to improve responses to children and young people who have experienced or are at risk of abuse, family violence and neglect.
Child abuse prevention programs.
We run nationally recognised child abuse prevention programs that seek to decrease the incidence of child abuse and raise awareness about how to stop it even before it starts.
Inspiring and supporting parents.
We provide ongoing parenting education seminars and easily accessible resources to strengthen the ability of parents to raise happy and confident children.
Research.
In partnership with Monash University, we have established the National Research Centre for the Prevention of Child Abuse to research the problem of child abuse and identify constructive solutions.
The Australian Childhood Foundation relies on the support of the community to enable it to continue its programs and services.
