Care. Prevention. Advocacy.

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 care, prevention and advocacy, we fight for children's right to be safe, so their future is strong.



Care Programs

From the immediate comfort of a Buddy Bag during a crisis to Cubby House as a sanctuary in the family court system, along with intensive therapeutic support through Children Ahead, our Care programs help children navigate the challenging and isolating journey of healing and recovery from trauma.

Through our trauma consultancy services in schools (ATLAS) and early learning services (TraCS) we meet children and young people in places and spaces where they need support – while also supporting the educators and adults in their lives.

Prevention Programs

Our Prevention programs empower young people to be positive digital citizens through our free school online safety program, eSmart, and more specialised projects like Crushed But Okay for teens and Playing IT Safe for young children. We realise Dolly’s Dream to change the culture of bullying through our support of their work.

Policy & Advocacy

Their rights are our reason to be. Our Advocacy work fights for the rights of children and young people as victims of crime, for children's digital rights and for their right to be safe from gun violence. We work to ensure their voices are included in matters that affect them through our approach to child and youth participation.
