Program for Serving and ex-Serving Australian Defence Force Families
The program dedicated to supporting the unique needs of children from serving and ex-serving ADF families has been made possible by the Australian Government.
The Department of Veterans’ Affairs is providing $2.1 million over two years to the Australian Kookaburra Kids Foundation to develop and deliver the pilot program which will provide respite camps, activity days and age-appropriate mental health education focusing on coping skills and resilience, while allowing children to bond with peers who are facing similar challenges.
