Parenting is challenging for anyone. But for the women at Ella’s, they navigate those challenges alongside their recovery from the horrors of trafficking and violence. To provide specialist support for them and their children, please help us to add a Children and Families Caseworker to our team.

We work with traumatised and marginalised survivors of trafficking and exploitation, as well as their dependent children. Many of the women have been abused from a young age. Nearly half are refugees or asylum seekers. Most have complex mental health needs. They face many barriers to accessing the support they need to recover and build lives that are safe and free for themselves and their children. Without vital support from Ella’s, many of these families could fall back into danger.

We do everything we can to ensure survivors of trafficking and exploitation have all they need to recover and build lives that are safe and free. Our new Children and Families Caseworker will support survivors who are mums as they raise children while themselves recovering from the trauma they've been through. The caseworker will also provide direct support for children, as well as organise parents and family activities and referrals to other services.
