To build relationships between children, young people, their families and the community. It advocates for children and young people and contributes to community knowledge about their issues.

For over 120 years Barnardos has been at the forefront of child welfare service provision and has embraced a tradition of innovation and holistic approach in our quest to find real, permanent solutions for Australian children in desperate need. Barnardos builds relationships between children, young people, their families and the community. We advocate for children and young people and contribute to community knowledge about the issues that impact on society as a whole. By supporting the work of Barnardos you can create new dreams and outcomes to offer the adults of tomorrow a future free from neglect. Barnardos believes that services should be delivered to children in their own communities. Services are also best managed so that a flexible range is offered to meet the changing needs of children and their families. Our services are constantly subject to evaluation, auditing and modification based on the latest research outcomes.
