About

Supporting parents to keep children safe and families together

Reily Foundation is an independent South Australian not-for-profit. We work alongside government and service providers in the child protection space, bringing an independent and complementary approach with a clear focus on supporting families.

WHO WE ARE

The Reily Foundation

Reily exists to ensure parents and families do not have to navigate the child protection system alone. We provide free support that helps families better understand the system, build confidence, and take practical steps toward greater stability and safer outcomes for their children.

Our work is grounded in the belief that when parents are supported, children thrive. We bring together lived experience, professional expertise, and a practical understanding of the challenges families face.

A message from our CEO & Founder

Nadia Bergineti founded The Reily Foundation in 2019 after recognising a significant gap in support for parents navigating South Australia’s child protection system.
  
Today, her vision continues to drive the organisation’s commitment to helping families build capacity, strengthen relationships and work towards safer, more connected futures for their children.

About US

Our Mission

OUR COMMITMENT

In all the work we do the safety and well-being of children is paramount.

We work with parents to help them understand what it is that they need to change in order to parent more effectively.


We give parents a voice when they are not being heard. We provide a voice for children so that they can have the best connection possible with their biological parents when they are in the care of the government.

OUR BELIEFS

We believe that children have the right to be raised in a safe and supportive environment, preferably by their biological parents.


We believe that the most vulnerable people in our community are those who need support the most

OUR VISION

Strengthening parenting capacity through practical support, education and advocacy.

OUR MISSION

By working with, and being a supportive voice for, parents who are navigating the State’s Child Protection System, the Reily Foundation endeavours to achieve the best possible outcomes for children and their families.

The Reily Team

Our team brings together professional expertise, lived experience, and a shared commitment to supporting parents navigating the child protection system with dignity and care, enabling Reily to deliver meaningful support to families across South Australia.
