Statement of Intent
Kennerley aims to be recognised as the peak body caring for children under guardianship; providing a safe and stable environment that enables each child to reach full potential.
Background
Kennerley Children’s Home has been an integral part of caring for the children of Hobart for over 140 years. Over the years Kennerley has developed their programs to meet the needs of children and families within the community. We at Kennerley believe that children are best placed with their family of origin but if this is not possible then Kennerley can provide placement with dedicated carers. Kennerley is committed to the development of children through supportive family environments and quality care. Kennerley Children’s Homes has a long history of providing high quality care to the children in our community. This extremely important work could not be achieved without the dedication and commitment of people who have a strong desire to make a difference to a child’s quality of life.
