Our Kids First

Our Mission is to guide families through the challenges of divorce with a holistic, child-centered approach. We support both parents to prioritise their children’s well-being, rebuild lives, and create a brighter future. From emotional guidance to practical support, we’re here to help families every step of the way to achieve the best outcomes for their children. We want to give all children the chance to thrive, no matter their difficult starting point.  

‘I was drowning in a sea of stress. Divorce ruined me, emotionally, practically, financially, in every way. My biggest fear was - will my beautiful children be ok?’

Our services include: 

  • Welfare & emergency relief 
  • Emotional support  
  • Education and advocacy  
  • Coaching & mediation  

Caseworkers play a crucial role in our work, helping families like Adam’s:

After Adam’s parents divorced, his dad struggled to take adequate care of him. Things got worse and emergency services were called. Our Kids First’s caseworker arranged food bank help, parenting coaching and therapy referrals. Adam’s dad is now managing better and Adam even has contact with his mum. He says, ‘I feel safe knowing Our Kids First are always there.’
