Dear Kinship Carers,

These webinars offered by the eSafety Commissioner come highly recommended by us. Please join one or more of them – they address one of the most critical issues facing children and young people in your care.

Let us know what you think of them.

Cheers,

Amendments to the Children, Youth and Families Act 2005 (the Act) introduced into the Victorian Parliament yesterday (29/10/25) will restore key protections for children which were removed from the Act in 2016 by the then Government.

Dear Carers,

We are pleased to present an overview of some of the programs offered by the Victorian Government. Some of them will be familiar to you but others may not.

Please read through them all and follow them up if you think there is even a remote possibility of achieving the sort of assistance you might need.

Cheers

Dear Friends and Colleagues,

If conversations with kinship carers are an indication, it seems clear that many of us are somewhat bewildered by how widely sexual grooming of children and young people is spreading. The response to the booklet Jack Changes the Game that we recently posted on the website also indicates a high level of interest in the issue.

Here is another document we recommend.

Cheers
