Daniel Morcombe Foundation Inc.

The Daniel Morcombe Foundation is committed to ‘Keeping Kids Safe.’ It was established by parents Bruce and Denise Morcombe (2012 Queensland Australians of the Year) in 2005 after their son Daniel was abducted and murdered in December 2003 while waiting to catch a bus on the Sunshine Coast. As a lasting legacy to Daniel the foundation was created with two main aims; to educate children on how to stay safe in a physical and online environment and to support young victims of crime.

The Foundation continues to deliver a number of unique resources and life skills that empower children and adults to stay safe.

It provides financial support to child victims of crime and their families with direct and often, urgently needed assistance to help get their lives back on track.

Each year on the last Friday in October, the foundation conducts its national day of action, Day for Daniel.
