We are a small Australian. Not-for-Profit Missing Persons Charity supporting  people who have been effected by a loved one becoming a missing person. 

Our Charity is built with dedicated volunteers with lived experience of having a loved one becoming a missing person, and dedicated professionals with BIG HEARTS giving to our cause.

We are DGR Status with the Australian Taxation Office which is a great incentive for Donors.

We are not government funded so we rely heavily on the generosity from our charitable Donors, to continue supporting families impacted with the ambiguity, grief and uncertainty

For our charity, regular giving can provide greater financial stability to continue delivering practical assistance, resources, awareness initiatives, programs, counselling and support services.

Projects and Initiatives 

We have just launched our first project and The Treasured Stories Project this meaningful initiative created to provide families voices to be amplified through their own story telling about who their missing loved one is to them

The Treasured Stories Project is a National Shine The Light initiative designed to give families and loved ones an opportunity to share the story of their Missing Person — this includes those who remain missing. Helping the community see their missing loved one is more than a person behind the missing-person poster, case file or media headline. Its purpose is to preserve their identity, memories and treasured stories while continuing to raise respectful awareness for long-term Missing Persons, for broader public awareness

Our team has also Designed a purpose-built counselling model service specifically for  specialty counselling giving families to access completely free service

Program Design and Development — establishing the purpose, service model, eligibility, referral pathways, counselling supports and operating procedures.
