About us:

The Daniel Morcombe Foundation was established in May 2005 by Bruce and Denise Morcombe, with the heartfelt purpose of helping children and young people stay safe in both physical and online environments.

The Foundation prides itself on providing quality child safety education free of charge. Our programs give children and young people the knowledge and confidence to recognise, react and report, and to seek help from safe adults, helping to prevent abuse and promote lifelong health and wellbeing. We also support educators, parents and carers with practical resources and education, and we provide support to young victims of crime.

Everything we do is guided by our vision of a future where every child and young person has the education, protection and support they need to grow up free from harm.
