Extended Families Australia is a not-for-profit group that helps children and young people with disabilities and their families.
The group knows that looking after a child with a disability can be hard. Families may need extra help and support. Extended Families Australia connects families with volunteers who can spend time with their child, share activities, and offer friendship.
Volunteers help children and young people feel less alone. They help them try new things, meet people, and be part of their local community. They also give families time to rest and support them in their daily lives.
Extended Families Australia wants all children and young people to feel welcome and included. The group works to make life better for families and help the community better understand disability.
