abrs is Australia’s only charity owned recruitment agency. All net profit is returned to Barnardos to support additional funding needs for children, family and community services. The Reconnect program is an early intervention homelessness program aimed at supporting young people at risk of / or those who are currently homeless and their families. The program has two full time staff [currently funded for 1.5 staff] and is required to support a minimum of 52 young people and their families per year. The program over the last 5 years has continued to exceed this minimum target consistently and continues to do so as a result of the ‘top up’ funding it is receiving.
