Our People
Meet our Patrons, Ambassadors, Board and Executive team.
The Alannah & Madeline Foundation is a national not-for-profit organisation dedicated to keeping children and young people free from violence and trauma wherever they live, learn and play.
Through our Care, Prevention and Advocacy programs, we fight for their right to be safe, so their future is strong.
From supporting children experiencing violence and trauma to educating communities about online bullying and fighting for the rights of children and young people, we help children and young people be safe, strong and heard.

Our Principles
We uphold children's rights
We are guided by the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, and we uphold the rights of children to protection, provision and participation.
We work together
We listen, engage and act. We build trust and genuine partnerships with children, young people and each other. Through collaboration and shared understanding, we support safety and wellbeing.
We focus on strengths
We believe that with the right tools, resources and support, every child, young person and community has the capacity to ensure they are safe, strong and heard.
We know that everyone has a story
We recognise the impact of trauma, adversity and vulnerability, including on ourselves. By doing so, we create a safe, supportive and inclusive environment for staff, volunteers, partners and the children and young people we serve.
Our Theory of Change
Child Safety
The safety of children and young people is our number one priority – it's why we exist. As an organisation that works directly with children and young people, we make sure that everything we do keeps children safe and meets our obligations under Child Safe principles, laws and guidelines.
Our Child Safe policy governs our systems and processes for child safety, including ensuring that all people within the Foundation operate in the best interests of children and do no harm.
