Mobile Outreach

Using this collaborative methodology will ensure maximum savings of money and resources to both the Government and Community. MOS is well under way with visits to Pt.Pirie/Pt.Augusta/Whyalla, together with The Riverland, Borossa and Kapunda well under way. We aim to expand on this with visits to the Murraylands, Mid-North and the South East regions.

The visits, mentioned above have assisted existing and new clients who for many reasons find it difficult to visit us in Adelaide. We have also met with relevant Government agencies, associated NGOs, Indigenous and other organisations performing similar functions focussing on the welfare of children and in particular, children at risk.

These alliances will also act as a continuous source of feedback and project improvement, given that there will be objective oversight from external stakeholders. Whilst there are other support services available for clients in need in the proposed areas of operation, it should be noted that GFGSA is the only organisation in Australia that uses grand-parental support to enable our fundamental aims of the welfare, safety and happiness of the children involved. And we are certainly the only organisation in Australia offering a mobile outreach service!

caused by troubled and disconnected young people who lack this sense of belonging. These results will now be expanded across rural and regional South Australia. Over the 16 years of operation we have continually witnessed the improvements our program brings to the young people with whom we interact. Self-evidently, children who remain with their siblings in an environment where they know they are loved and their trauma is understood, have a vastly improved chance of achieving their full potential. Whilst we have had a great deal of success in these endeavors in the metropolitan areas of Adelaide, the GFGSA MOS will deliver this service and the same opportunities to the children of our regional communities.
