Every child has the right to feel safe, loved, and free to dream big. Yet for many children in Australia, trauma related to abuse or neglect takes away that sense of safety and belonging. In 2023–2024, more than 42,000 cases of abuse or neglect were confirmed across the country. With the right support, children can begin to heal from trauma, rebuild their confidence, and go onto thrive as they grow.
Over the past decade, Mental Health Academy and Act for Kids have proudly partnered to raise nearly $1.3 million to prevent and treat child abuse and neglect across Australia. This year, we’re honoured to welcome Emerging Minds—a national leader in promoting the mental health and emotional wellbeing of Australian infants, children, adolescents, and their families—as a key partner in this important initiative.
When you register for the 2025 Mental Health Super Summit, you’ll unlock 20 hours of high-quality professional learning led by 20 global experts—from as little as $25. And with all funds being donated to charity, your participation will help transform the lives of Australian children and families, supporting them to live safer, more fulfilling lives—free from trauma
