Australia Day 2018

As we spend this day with friends and family, we remember with pride that the original inhabitants of this land are the world’s oldest continuous civilisation.

We also reflect with sadness the work that remains to be done so that young Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Australians can take their full and confident place in a kind and culturally rich Australia.  We are committed to helping make that happen.

I have the right to be safe and well cared for.

As a child and young person in care, you have special rights. These are rules that should be followed so you can grow up happy, healthy and achieving your dreams.

If you feel that your rights are not being met, and you are not being listened to, we can help.
