We heal little hearts

More than 60,000 individual children are affected by child abuse in Australia every single year. That’s 1 child every 10 minutes who is suffering from neglect or physical, sexual or emotional abuse (often by people they know and should be able to trust).

Many of these kids get no professional help whatsoever, and end up with lifelong problems.

But a small few find themselves at an ACT for Kids centre. We give children all the skills, care and confidence they need to turn their tiny hearts around and lead a normal life. We’re also there for mums and dads, healing the hurt that abuse and domestic violence causes the whole family.

Originally known as the Abused Child Trust, ACT for Kids has been helping Australian families keep their children safe for more than 20 years.
