Be part of the change that protects children

Help bring hidden harm into the light through awareness and action.

Volunteering with Hidden Scars is an opportunity to contribute to meaningful change in the prevention of child abuse and neglect.

Our volunteers support awareness initiatives, community engagement, campaigns, and educational efforts that help others recognise emotional, psychological, and relational harm.

Whether you bring lived experience, professional skills, or a passion for advocacy, your contribution helps strengthen understanding and support safer environments for children.

Together, volunteers play a vital role in turning awareness into action and ensuring hidden harm is no longer ignored.

  • We focus on working with volunteers who want to help increase awareness of hidden harm, support early recognition, and contribute to prevention-focused education and community engagement that helps protect children and strengthen families.

    2023 Australian Child Maltreatment Study (ACMS).

    Mental abuse is strongly linked to major depressive and
    anxiety disorders, substance dependence,
    self-harm, and suicide attempts.

    In 2023-24, 57% of Australian children with substantiated maltreatment had mental abuse
    recorded as the primary type of abuse (AIHW).
