Way To Get Involved

Help us build a more inclusive Australia for children with visible differences.

Facing Forward Australia is growing, and we would love families, adults with lived experience, educators, healthcare professionals and community members to be part of the journey.

Whether you share your story, attend a local meet-up, provide feedback on resources or help spread awareness, every contribution helps more families feel seen, supported and less alone.

Share Your Story

Your experience could help another family feel understood and hopeful.

Share your child’s journey, your own lived experience, something you wish you had known, or advice you would give to a newly diagnosed family.

Find Your Village

You don't have to navigate this journey alone.

One of the hardest parts of raising a child with a visible difference is feeling like you're the only family going through it.

Our community is growing across Australia, and we'd love to help connect families who understand each other's journey.

Whether you're looking for friendship, support or simply someone who "gets it," we're here to help.
