Barnardos Australia Beyond Barbed Wire Program based in NSW Central West since 2008, has a demonstrated track record of radically reducing return to custody rates of incarcerated Aboriginal mothers through long-term, post-release support. We need programs like this in the community!

Barnardos Australia welcomes news that the ACT government has passed legislation giving young people leaving out-of-home care the right to access support until their 21st birthday. Vulnerable young people need ongoing care, support and a sense of security! bit.ly/3XKESlS

Key findings from Barnardos Australia YouGov survey indicate that 91% of participants agree that experiencing homelessness as a child impacts a person for the rest of their life. Without safety & stability, children & young people cannot reach their milestones & thrive. #HW2024 🏡🏚️

Our priority at Barnardos Australia is the safety & wellbeing of children. Sadly, children are unspoken victims of #homelessness across Australia. Our centres have observed significant increase in families going without essentials & unable to afford safe accommodation. #HW2024 🏘️🏚️

Housing is a child protection issue. Barnardos works with families at risk of homelessness so that they can stay together and support their children to thrive.

It's National Child Protection Week and in this clip, our CEO Deirdre Cheers explains that we all have a shared responsibility to ensure that children are kept safe. Delia Donovan, CEO of Domestic Violence NSW agrees that keeping children safe needs a community-wide approach.

Barnardos Australia welcomes Kate Washington MP announcement on the ban on the use of Alternative Care Arrangements for vulnerable children. ACA's do not bring about positive life outcomes for children, nor give them a sense of permanency and hope. bit.ly/3AIdL1i

The NSW Government has worked hard to bring down the number of children in ACA's, with the support of NGO's. We will continue to partner with the NSW Government to deliver specialist and therapeutic care for children. #ChampionsforChildren
