Our goal is to give every individual the optimal opportunity to live in a safe and nurturing family.

We are governed by a Board drawn from the communities in which we serve and deliver a range of programs to support children, young people and families. These programs and services range from family counselling to homelessness assistance, men’s behavioural change programs and foster care.

With more than 195 staff and 200 volunteers in offices in Ballarat, Ararat, Bacchus Marsh and Daylesford, CAFS provides help and support to more than 6000 individuals and families each year across the Victorian Central Highlands region.
