The Alannah & Madeline Foundation aims to reduce bullying for the safety and wellbeing of children.
The Foundation was set up in memory of Alannah and Madeline Mikac, aged six and three, who were tragically killed with their mother and 32 others at Port Arthur, Tasmania, on 28 April 1996.
Our key objectives are to care for children who have experienced or witnessed serious violence, reduce the incidence of bullying, cyber bullying and other cyber risks, and, advocate for the safety and wellbeing of children.
Our programs are in one-third of all Australian schools, and more than 75 per cent of all Australian public libraries (reaching all 1,500 within the next three years). We support 10,000 children in refuges or foster homes across Australia every year.
We have reached more than two million children and their families nationwide since the organisation was established in 1997.
What We Do
The Foundation cares for children who have experienced or witnessed serious violence, and runs evidence-based programs that prevent violence and advocate for children’s safety and wellbeing.
Our care programs support children who have witnessed or experienced violence.
Our prevention programs promote behaviour-change in schools and libraries across the country to teach respectful values and behaviours in young people on and offline.
Our advocacy work speaks out for children and advocates for their right to be free from violence and bullying.
