Alannah & Madeline Foundation

A national not-for-profit dedicated to keeping children free from violence and trauma

The Alannah & Madeline Foundation is a national not-for-profit organisation dedicated to keeping children and young people free from violence and trauma wherever they live, learn and play.

The Foundation was set up in memory of Alannah and Madeline Mikac, aged six and three, who were tragically killed with their mother and 32 others at Port Arthur, Tasmania, on 28 April 1996. Our programs support thousands of children across Australia every year.
