Real children need real relationships. We want all children in out-of-home care to have safe and enduring relationships with carers they can rely on.

If you believe we need:

  • Kids to have access to enduring relationships with safe and reliable carers

  • Carers being supported and respected

  • Fundamental change to the culture that drives OOHC so the system is orientated around providing secure connection not just basic protection.

  • We need more than a child protection system, we need a Child Connection System.

Join us now and help make that happen! The more people impacted the OOHC that we represent, the harder we are to ignore.

We are a community of carers, parents and supporters who have a shared vision - to give kids a fundamentally better experience of child protection and out-of-home care. Because when kids get great care, they grow into healthy and happy adults and our whole community is stronger. 

The Centre for Relational Care is independent of government. Progress is not being made by existing advocacy groups who are funded by the same entity they seek to influence.

There is already clear evidence in the areas of neuroscience, attachment theory and trauma, that kids need secure and sustained connections– we know what works, and what we need to be investing in - the problem is that we are not doing it.

We are a truly independent voice for all people who are, or have been, impacted by out-of-home care.  To continue our work and remain independent, we rely 100% on donations.

You can contribute so we can continue.
