SUPPORT SCA

Get Involved

School Can’t Australia (SCA) is the largest national organisation supporting parents and carers of children experiencing school attendance difficulties.

We’ve built something remarkable through volunteer effort — supporting more than 17,000 families through peer support, practical resources, lived-experience advocacy, and systems change work.

There are many ways to get involved — from supporting our work through a tax-deductible donation, to joining our team, volunteering your skills, or helping advocate for systemic change.

YOU CAN HELP

You can also make a one-time contribution to support School Can’t Australia’s peer support, advocacy, resources, and systems change work.

Every donation helps strengthen the support families rely on.
