Click the link below to hear what our CEO recently had to say following a recent child abuse incident that occurred in a Victorian school. abc.net.au/listen/program…
As a society, we must be proactive, with a focus on both prevention and response, and advocate for a safer future for all children.
Today is the Anniversary of Australia's Prime Minister’s Apology to Victims of Institutional Child Abuse. We remember the profound apology made to the countless survivors of institutional child abuse, acknowledging the immense pain and suffering endured by so many.
Congratulations to our Dennis Street KEYS Program, winners of the Residential Care Team Award at the Resi ROCKS awards . To all our deserving nominees, the care a dedication shown in your work makes a profound difference in the children you care for. cfecfw.asn.au/residential-ca…
We held our Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP) Forum at the Aborigines Advancement League in Thornbury, where people from across MacKillop in Victoria participated in deep listening and discussion to help inform the deliverables in our next RAP..
