Larissa Bartlett, wife of Tasmanian Premier, David Bartlett, speaks out on how we as a community can help keep all children safe and protected.
When you become a regular donor, your commitment shows children like Josh that they are part of a community that cares about them and wants them to be safe.
Over the past seven years, the number of reported cases of child abuse and neglect has almost tripled in Australia. In 1999-2000, there were 107,134 reports.
Last year there were more than 872 new reports of child abuse per day. That equates to one child reported abused or neglected every two minutes.
The number of referrals to the Australian Childhood Foundation has increased by 20 per cent during the 2008/2009 Financial Year.
The number of children living away from their family for their own protection has almost tripled from 13 979 in 1996 to 31 166 in 2008.
