For the Carers.
For the Kids.

Australia's most vulnerable kids need our help.

Australia - we have a problem. Approximately 49,000 of our children are in foster care / out of home care (OOHC)  while only 9,000 foster care households are available; often housing multiple children and under significant stress as they navigate the intricate needs of displaced children. The current system is proving ill equipped to adapt and respond to the growing issues at hand, resulting in many children facing broken placements and insufficient carer resources - ultimately fuelling intergenerational patterns of increased trauma, abuse and institutionalisation.

 

It's time to evolve the system. Welcome to the hatch project.

Statistics: Intergenerational trauma, abuse and institutionalization 

"Almost 1/3 of children and young people in child protection in NSW have at least 1 parent who also had child protection intervention. The link is the strongest for children and young people in OOHC"
