Protecting Children. Supporting Families. Breaking the Cycle.

Trauma-informed Care & Counselling for Children and Families Impacted by Abuse, Neglect, or Harm

Jannawi is a community-based, child protection organisation providing evidence-based support and advocacy to children and families who have experienced trauma through violence, neglect, psychological harm or sexual assault- we’re here to help build safer, stronger futures.

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.
