Established in 2002 and formerly known as Grandparents For Grandchildren SA (GFGSA), we believe that all children and young people have the right to a safe, secure and nurturing family environment where the role of Grandcarer (grandparent and kinship carers of their family’s children) is recognised, supported and valued. To achieve this, we assist Grandcarers to access and care for their children
by providing them with information, support and advocacy, including:
Practical advice and referrals
Financial assistance through our Education and Development Fund
Mobile Outreach and Village Support Program
Sector advocacy
Telephone support service
Our Vision:
All Grandcarers are empowered to provide a safe, secure and nurturing family environment where all children in their care can thrive. Our Purpose:
To provide comprehensive support to Grandcarers through financial assistance, personal support, information provision, and advocacy. We aim to empower Grandcarers to achieve positive outcomes for themselves and the children in their care. Definition of Grandcarer:
Grandcarers are full time carers of, or alienated from, their kin’s children. Grandcarers SA primarily supports grandparents but also supports other full time informal kinship carers.
