With the child's voice at the centre, we provide quality services to children and their caregivers, advocating with them so that children develop, learn, and are connected, safe and confident.

Our people are proudly local, reflective of the communities we serve - in every state and territory, and across regions, remote areas and capital cities.

We are a learning organisation that invests in the development and wellbeing of our people.

Our workforce is 680+ people strong, and proudly diverse, whether in race, ethnicity, gender, age, disability, sexuality, cultures and beliefs.
