Who are we and what do we do?
The Australian Childhood Foundation is a national charity which works 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 and
Neglect to research the problem of child abuse and identify constructive
solutions.
The Australian Childhood Foundation relies on donations to continue its
programs and services.
