Child and Family Services Ballarat (CAFS) came into being in 1998. Previously, it was known as Ballarat Children's Homes and Family Services. CAFS is a community service organisation that provides a range of programs and services to children, young people and families. The heritage of the organisation dates back to 1865, when the Ballarat District Orphan Asylum was established, amid great concern for the children affected by the rapid social changes of the gold rush era.
