AbSec is the peak organisations for Aboriginal children and families in NSW. We work to empower Aboriginal children, young people, families and communities impacted by the child protection system, as well as support a quality Aboriginal community-controlled child and family sector to deliver much-needed support to Aboriginal communities across the state.
Make a difference with us!
We work tirelessly each and every day to make sure that Aboriginal children, families and communities have the support they need to thrive. We couldn’t do this without our valued philanthropic supporters and we are always looking to build new partnerships.
