About the Foundation
At the Australian Childhood Foundation we have witnessed the impact of the tough economic climate on many families. The number of referrals to their child abuse counselling service has increased by 15 to 20 percent over the past 12 months. Unfortunately, evidence shows them economic trouble is one of the leading triggers for child abuse and family violence.
