We’re thrilled to announce that Act for Kids has been awarded five years of funding from the to support the Safe Families program in Queensland’s Moreton Bay region.
This generous funding is part of the Foundation’s $24.5 million Dads on Track initiative, supporting organisations across Australia to address family violence and help keep children and families safe.
Through Safe Families, we use a whole-family approach to support fathers who use violence to develop safe, respectful parenting practices through individual support, care coordination, and the evidence-based Caring Dads group program.
At the heart of this work is the safety and wellbeing of children and families.
A sincere thank you to the Paul Ramsay Foundation for recognising the importance of this work and investing in safer, stronger families.

📖 Sunny Side Up is a warm and uplifting story about finding moments of hope when life feels difficult. It gently shows children that it’s okay to have hard days and that brighter moments can still be found, even when things don’t go as planned.

Why do we love it? It helps children understand and navigate difficult emotions while encouraging optimism, resilience and self-compassion. A thoughtful reminder that we don’t have to feel happy all the time to find a little sunshine in our day. ☀️💛

👉 (Recommended age: 3–7 years | Main themes: emotions, optimism, resilience, self-compassion)

Every girl deserves the freedom to learn, grow, dream and shape her own future. This International Day of the Girl, we’re standing against child marriage and standing up for every girl’s right to a safe and happy childhood. Around the world, more than 12 million girls are married before reaching adulthood each year. Behind this number are millions of childhoods, choices and opportunities cut short.
Every girl deserves to be safe, heard and supported to reach her full potential.
