We are very proud that the positive and impactful work of Kookaburra Kids is showcased in the Royal Commission’s Final Report into Defence and Veteran Suicide. We were recognised as the only mental health support program in Australia specifically designed for children of Defence and Veteran families. (Volume 4, p344)

Thank you to the Australian Government Department of Veterans’ Affairs for funding our Defence Kids program, supporting the unique needs of young people from serving and ex serving ADF families.

This recognition emphasises the critical role we play at Kookaburra Kids and strengthens our commitment to reaching even more young people impacted by family mental illness across the country.
