About us
Act for Kids is an Australian charity with a purpose to keep kids safe, heal from trauma and lead happy lives. We provide professional therapy and support services to children and young people who have experienced abuse or neglect, and early support for families at risk. Act for Kids has helped thousands of children and families since it was established in 1988. Our multidisciplinary teams provide intensive therapy, sexual abuse counselling, safe houses in remote Indigenous communities, youth mentoring, family coaches and a preschool designed for abused and neglected children with additional developmental needs to ensure they are set up for success at school. All of these services are provided free of charge to clients. While Act for Kids receives some government funding, it heavily relies on donations and fundraising for expansion and development of its services to reach more children and families in need. Act for Kids is proud to be an Inclusive Employer 2023-2024. This achievement recognises our active commitment to inclusion and that Act for Kids is above the Australian workforce average in the Diversity Council Australia Ltd's Inclusion@Work Index.
