This October long weekend, challenge yourself and go camping!

Why? For a great cause! Time for Kids has been making a difference in the lives of isolated children right across Adelaide since 1960. We need YOUR help to raise funds for Time for Kids to support more children in 2021 and beyond!

So, how can you get involved? It's super easy!

Step 1. Register online and set a fundraising goal.

Step 2. Ask friends, family and colleagues to sponsor your efforts.

Step 3. Camp Out! ( Whether you choose to camp out under the stars or in your very own living room!)

Registrations will close before midnight Wednesday, 29 September – so get in quick! Registration includes your very own printed Time for Kids Camp Out Guidebook which offers more than 30 fun and creative challenges and activities to complete in your guidebook while you camp out. #TimeforKidsCampOut

Let's go camping!

We're moving!

We've officially moved out of our Frome/Flinders Street Office and will be relocating to South Terrace in November 2021.

The move will allow us to redevelop our client and staff facilities. The new office design better incorporates accessibility, sophisticated telehealth technology, security, privacy and confidentiality, and family-friendliness.

Carparking and public transport are more plentiful in the new location. Disability access is available from both the front and side of the building. Our client services will be on the ground floor and have larger clinical rooms for clients with a disability.

We have experienced delays in the completion of the South Terrace fit-out. This means the delivery of CBD services is via telehealth or at temporary physical sites. These sites will be in the city or at our Hindmarsh office.

Our new office will be located at 151 South Terrace. We can't wait for you to see it!
