Did you know, every single day in Australia 130 children suffer abuse or neglect? Since 1988, Act for Kids has provided free therapeutic support for thousands of kids and families. Last year alone, we helped 46,084 children, parents, and carers. But, there are many more kids who need urgent assistance. Stand with us as we work tirelessly to prevent and treat child abuse and neglect.
Recent Act for Kids findings confirm the impact of a supportive, loving and engaged father figure can be life-changing for a child.
Sadly, society often places less value on the role of fathers. However, having a father or father figure as a stable source of love and encouragement helps ensure that children grow up happy and healthy.
Our specialist teams support children, young people and families across the whole spectrum of child protection from community education programs to tertiary services.
