Welcome to Cafs
At Cafs, your contribution counts.
Today we celebrate World Social Work Day.
Social work is about creating meaningful change, and today we recognise the dedicated professionals who make a difference in people`s lives. We wish to extend a heartfelt thank you to all our Cafs team members for their care and support of the communities we work in.
This year`s theme, ‘Strengthening Intergenerational Solidarity for Enduring Wellbeing,” highlights the importance of mutual care and respect across generations to build strong communities, protect the environment, and pass down wisdom for a better future.

Fostering is more than giving a home, it’s giving hope.

The theme for International Women’s Day 2025 is Accelerate Action.
When we take bold steps to drive progress, we create lasting change. By accelerating action for gender equality, we break down barriers, challenge biases, and open doors to new opportunities. When women everywhere feel empowered to step forward, they gain the confidence, recognition, and support they deserve.
Collectively, let’s push for faster progress, stronger commitments and meaningful action. Lets #AccelerateAction for gender equality.

We’ve listened to your feedback and have expanded Dad’s Tool Kit to support more dads, in more ways. This proactive parenting program helps dads understand how their life experiences shape their relationships, fostering strong connections and healthy boundaries.
The expansion now caters to three key groups:
→ Expectant dads - learn about pre-birth prep, labour support and infant development.
→ Full-time working dads - weekend intensive sessions (two 8-hour days).
→ Pre-school dads - those wanting to play and connect with their children aged 0-5 in a supported 1.5 hour playgroup session.
For more information and support please contact the Early Help Team at Cafs or email family.support@cafs.org.au
