PCA Families exists to support strong, stable families who have the support they need to provide nurturing and permanent homes for the children and young people who come into their care through permanent care, kinship care or adoption. We know firsthand that the journey for families is rewarding but not always easy.
Families accessing our helpline and peer support programs have shared a range of challenges, ranging from challenges managing learning from home, behavioural outbursts, strained family relationships, financial stress and a concerning theme of significant mental health and wellbeing concerns for children, young people and their families.
Donating and supporting PCA Families fundraising and campaigns will enable us to continue to develop and roll out programs that support strong and stable families through parenting and peer support services that directly benefit children, young people and their families. It will also support us to continue our advocacy work to improve the lived experience of permanent care and adoptive families.
There are many ways you can play an important part in helping us to support families formed through permanent care, adoption and kinship care.
You can donate online through the website, via PayPal or Direct Deposit into our bank account. Donations over $2.00 are tax-deductible.
Permanent Care and Adoptive Families (PCA Families) is a registered charity with Deductible Gift Recipient (DGR) status as a Public Benevolent Institution (PBI).
With your support you can make a real difference to our families and their children.
