We provide support to:
- Children and Young People
- Families
- Men
- Communities
Our goal is to give every individual the optimal opportunity to live in a safe and nurturing family.
We are governed by a Board drawn from the communities in which we serve and deliver a range of programs to support children, young people and families. These programs and services range from family counselling to homelessness assistance, men’s behavioural change programs and foster care.
With more than 200 staff and volunteers in offices in Ballarat, Ararat, Bacchus Marsh and Daylesford, Cafs provides help and support to more than 6,000 individuals and families each year across the Victorian Central Highlands.
Cafs has a long history supporting families, dating back to 1865 with the Ballarat Orphanage and Ballarat Children’s Home. Although our programs and services have changed and expanded significantly since these early days, we are just as committed and passionate to helping children and families in need.
