How We Help
Support the Whole Family
We engage with all members of the family, offering flexible and culturally responsive services, including bilingual support.
Make Safety a Priority
We prioritise child safety by making violence visible, addressing its impact, and intervening with perpetrators to reduce harm.
Empower Non-Offending Parents
We partner with the non-offending parent to strengthen protective factors and promote healing.
Navigate Complexity with Care
We embrace cultural diversity, complex family dynamics, and trauma, tailoring our support accordingly.
Connect Families to Services
We link families with essential services such as Centrelink, Legal Aid, and immigration support.
Drive Systemic Change
We sustain system-wide change through advocacy and trauma-informed practices
Providing A Path Toward Healing
Jannawi is a child protection service provider and a national leader in advocacy for the needs of children who have experienced trauma.
We are an independent, community-based organisation whose primary purpose is to protect children who have experienced trauma through violence, neglect, psychological harm or sexual assault.
Since 1978, we’ve been advocating for the rights of impacted children and families; walking with them towards healing.
Join us in our mission to create a safer society for all.
