The Daniel Morcombe Foundation Inc
About the Foundation
Our History
Our Vision
Our Mission
The Daniel Morcombe Foundation is committed to providing child safety education to children and young people to prevent sexual abuse and promote lifelong health and wellbeing. We support educators, parents and carers through the provision of resources and education and also directly support young victims of crime.
The Daniel Morcombe Foundation was established in 2005 as a lasting legacy to Daniel Morcombe. It was established by parents Bruce and Denise after their son Daniel was abducted in 2003 waiting to catch a bus on the Sunshine Coast, Queensland. It was suspected at the time that he may have been murdered. Since then Bruce and Denise have campaigned to make Australia a safer place for all children.
A future where all children and young people are provided with education, protection and support to be safe from abuse and risk of harm.
To educate children and young people about safety in physical and online environments and to support young victims of crime.
Our Objectives
4
1
To educate children regarding their personal safety (including abduction)
2
To assist victims of crime, particularly where crime involves children
3
To remember Daniel with child safety community awareness events
4
To support the families of Missing Persons particularly where it involves children
Founder’s message Daniel’s abduction and murder more than a decade ago united Australia in a call to action. His legacy through the Daniel Morcombe Foundation continues to gain traction in the child protection sector and build year by year. Built on passion and the belief that by linking his very real story with the need to educate our children on how to keep safe, we hope this very powerful combination leads to enhancing our work of keeping kids safe.
We want to encourage all parents and carers to have meaningful discussions with their children about body ownership and how they can Recognise, React and Report to an adult if they feel unsafe. Thank you for supporting the Daniel Morcombe Foundation and thank you for never forgetting our son Daniel. Australia joins with us and hugs his memory to keep kids safe.

Our vision for the next year is to create Australia’s biggest child safety lesson and continue to host Australia’s largest child safety day. We look forward to supporting new projects like Orbit Rescue (an interactive child safety app), plus adding to our library of 20 educational videos all freely available at no cost. All of this is achieved by just a handful of people in our office, we are tiny. The future is looking promising with a strategic plan in place. Ongoing funding is always a factor, however by attracting talented new staff we are hopeful that our footprint will continue to grow. While acknowledging that sadly most child sexual abuse is perpetrated by someone known to a child or family, we still have much work to do and this includes lobbying for the implementation of ‘Daniel’s Law’, a Public Accessible Sex Offenders’ Website. This isn’t about punishing someone twice. It is about providing information to parents, at the click of a mouse, in the privacy of their own homes.

Chairperson’s message It’s hard to believe that over 12 years ago a group of people who had a vision to protect children were sitting at our kitchen table discussing ideas, objectives and a vision for the Daniel Morcombe Foundation.
Our inaugural committee members included people who had never met Daniel, the boy in the red T-shirt who had been abducted on 7 December 2003. They did not realise how important they all were in growing a legacy for the future that would protect thousands of children.
Since 2006 when we launched our first ever film clips in a project titled ‘Foundation Red’, we have produced new resources aiming to meet the needs of children and young people in an ever changing technological world. In 2016 we produced 6 new videos focused on Respectful Relationships and cyber safety. In Child Protection Week 2016 we were honoured to have the Queensland Governor Paul De Jersey officially launch them. All of our resources are available online and at no charge.
We are proud of our ongoing commitment to assist child victims of crime who have experienced sexual or physical abuse.
We continue to provide educational, medical, sporting and recreational items for children and young people to assist them in their recovery. Simple everyday items can have a significant impact on how a child or young person is feeling. Support such as counselling or items like a bicycle, computer or school books all play a role in ensuring positive outcomes for child victims of crime. All of these commitments require money. We rely largely on Australia’s Mums and Dads who purchase a T-shirt or a wristband or a school giving a gold coin donation on Day for Daniel. Our staff and administration facilities are limited and have not grown significantly over the 12 years. Our future is looking good. Following an internal review earlier
this year our strategic plan is being implemented. I have stepped down as joint CEO along with Bruce and I am happy to announce Holly Brennan OAM as the CEO of the Daniel Morcombe Foundation. Holly has joined us with fresh ideas and I look forward to new growth strategies in the years ahead both in terms of fund raising and resource materials. Thank you to our committee members, staff and volunteers who continue to steer the organisation in the right direction to grow and empower our greatest asset - Our Children.

CEO’s message I am deeply honoured to be writing as CEO in our first Annual Report in this, my first year of service in the position at the Daniel Morcombe Foundation. The Foundation is committed to helping all children and young people to be safe from abuse and harm. I really couldn’t imagine wanting to work anywhere else as I bring over 20 years of experience in prevention of sexual abuse and supporting young survivors through child safety education and support. My original role with the Daniel Morcombe Foundation was as an advisor to Curriculum development and then I joined the Committee for several years. I resigned as a Committee member in 2017 to take over as CEO. Our year has been significant. One marked by continued perseverance and a renewed reflection on our goal of keeping kids safe.
In 2005, the Foundation started from Bruce and Denise’s home in Palmwoods. It had the goal of bringing Daniel home. Over the years this goal broadened and grew to include helping all children and young people to be safe. In 2012 Daniel came home to his family. In 2014 a conviction was handed down. Now in 2016/17 we are still working hard, striving towards keeping all children across Australia safe. Bruce and Denise have started their move away from the office to flourish in their roles as our Founders. They are continuing on as members of the Committee and as Child Safety Ambassadors for Education Queensland. The school visits remain one of their favourite undertakings. As we review the year that was, I look forward even more to the adventures and challenges ahead, developing, growing and exploring further opportunities and continuing the work and honouring the legacy started by Bruce and Denise in the Daniel Morcombe Foundation.
Holly Brennan OAM
Patron’s message The tragic disappearance of Daniel Morcombe touches the heart of every parent. An innocent, promising young boy cruelly snatched from his family with no explanation. The pain is excruciating for his parents and brothers. A genuine desire to protect and educate other young people is helping the Morcombe family through each day. I strongly encourage you to support Daniel’s family and their aim of creating a legacy for their son, a safer more secure world for our children.

Our work 12th Annual Day for Daniel
School visits Together Bruce and Denise have averaged visiting close to 100 schools each year since they were appointed Child Safety Ambassadors for Queensland Education in 2011. This year they visited approximateley 40 schools including some interstate schools as part of the Tweed to Territory Tour through NSW. The Daniel Morcombe Foundation’s key message to students and parents and carers is to Recognise, React and Report.
Demand for visits continues to be greater than the capacity to respond. This is a testament to the importance parents and educators place on the school program. Bruce and Denise look forward to maintaining their busy schedule visiting schools and appreciate the commitment Queensland Education has shown to ensure students have access to this important work now and into the future.
‘We used the Daniel Morcombe Child Safety Curriculum last year and all the students found it to be very valuable, we are grateful that this wonderful resource has been developed to help children to stay safe.’
Australia’s largest and most successful child safety awareness day (held annually) was held again on the last Friday in October. Day for Daniel keeps getting bigger and better every year. Record numbers of schools and businesses registered to participate and those involved were encouraged to wear red, educate and donate. Schools were supported to teach students to Recognise, React and Report unsafe situations. This year’s resources were focused on Respectful Relationships. They were distributed free of charge as part of the Keeping Kids Safe Resource Kit. The Daniel Morcombe Foundation were honoured that Federal Parliamentarians also got involved and the majority of MPs wore red badges and ribbons while sitting in Parliament on October 20th 2016. Day for Daniel is the Daniel Morcombe Foundation’s largest fundraising event of the year. The funds go
directly into work to keep kids safe. The day would not have been a success without the support of the many people who donated and also volunteered their services and time.
‘We wanted you to know that we have continued to support our students with key messages, strategies & resources you provided on your visit. One of our goals this year was that every campus would register with the Foundation and use the newly developed curriculum to explicitly teach our students protective skills.’ Tagai State College, Thursday Island QLD
St Joseph’s Catholic Primary School, Boorowa NSW

Walk for Daniel The Sunshine Coast community put on their walking shoes and helped us finish the walk that Daniel never got the chance to finish. 1200 people joined in and a sea of red blanketed the road from Woombye to Palmwoods as politicians, media, school groups, families and Bruce and Denise with baby grandson Winston all walked to honour Daniel’s memory. This important event helps to continue spreading key child safety messages with national media coverage. Bruce and Denise spoke to all adults across Australia

from the walk, reminding them that child protection is everyone’s business and that all children and young people have the right to be safe.
New resources launched during Child Protection Week When children and young people have access to child safety education and the adults in their lives feel confident to share messages about body ownership, healthy relationships and safety seeking behaviours young
people grow healthier and adults.
to be happier
In response to many hours of conversations with parents, carers and educators additional Respectful Relationships resources were added to the Keeping Kids Safe Resource Kit. The resources included an important video resource for parent and carers about understanding the online environment that children and young people are playing and learning in. These are freely available on our website and can be used at home or in school settings.
Orbit Rescue app
Bruce and Denise Morcombe joined by Queensland Governor Paul De Jersey
In March 2017 Bruce and Denise Morcombe helped to launch an updated resource for children aged 8 -10 years old aimed at preventing sexual
abuse. Orbit Rescue was developed by Professor Christian Jones and University of Sunshine Coast. It can be played on a mobile device, like a tablet, at home and used in school settings integrated into curriculum. It is an evidenced based approach to teaching children the skills involved in identifying and responding to unsafe people or situations. Visit our website DanielMorcombe.com.au for more information.
12th Annual Dance for Daniel What a night, what an event! Held at the Brisbane City Hall, there was dancing, laughter and all had a fantastic time. Importantly, the Dance was a celebration of 12 years of hard work keeping kids safe. Hosted by Sophie Monk in her pre bachelorette days, this event had it all. Laughs from comedian Tom Gleeson, spectacular vocal talent from Chrislyn Hamilton and highly charged boogie music from the Band of Blue who every year show that they know how to rock it. The Dance requires a huge effort to organise and there are many contributors who make it possible. The Daniel Morcombe Foundation is grateful for all the support.

Supporting Young Victims of Crime The Daniel Morcombe Foundation supports young victims of crime by providing everyday items that contribute to the rebuilding of people’s lives after they have experienced physical or sexual abuse. The Foundation has a long list of support provided this year including tutoring, horse riding, school stationery, laptops and tablets, bikes, helmets and locks, glasses, shoes and clothing, counselling, sports equipment and fees, bus fares, head lice treatment and zoo visits. This year Andrew Ashby, a survivor of sexual abuse and one of the first recipients of victim of crime assistance from the Daniel Morcombe Foundation spoke about the quiet work behind the scenes that is being undertaken by the Foundation.
Andrew’s story This story began at the age of about 11. Andrew was passionate about surfing and skateboarding, playing drums and dreamed about flying. He grew up in a loving and stable church going family. ‘The Pastor paid particular attention to me and told me I was special. He told me I had a great future in the church. Little did I know I was a prime target and was being groomed.’ For many months Andrew says he was spoiled with gifts, drum equipment and expensive dinners.
‘The other children dropped off from the youth group and it was me and the Pastor left alone. He became my mentor and best friend, he also became a perpetrator of sexual abuse. For 3 years I was sexually abused by this Pastor 3 to 4 times a week. He told me it was our little secret and that if I told anyone they would not believe me.’
12
After his disclosure of sexual abuse it was he and his parents who were left to pick up the pieces. Andrew talked of not being able to function and how even getting up in the morning was a challenge. He spoke of his struggles with staying engaged at school, the impact to his mental health and the frequent anxiety attacks he experienced. He told of how the feelings of rage and anger led to violent outbursts that left his bedroom walls with holes. This was a challenging time and to cope, Andrew says, he would often disassociate so he could escape into his own daydream world.
Andrew Ashby shares his story at Dance for Daniel 2017
and joy a KTM Motorbike.
‘It was a very isolating and lonely time and there wasn’t much to look forward to. I had always wanted a motorbike but I knew this wasn’t possible as finances were very tight. I felt very alone.‘
He said that when he rode the bike it gave him a sense of freedom and he loved revving the engine and riding around the fields. The freedom enabled him to face his demons and in his own words ‘crush them’. The bike acted as a distraction from the pressures of interacting with the criminal justice system.
One day his Mum picked him up from school and drove him to the motorbike shop where he met Bruce and Denise Morcombe. He was fitted with all the gear and to his surprise
While riding near the local airstrip one day and watching the planes take off and land, Andrew’s desire to fly was reignited. He started flying lessons and after high school
studied to become a pilot. Andrew is now an international pilot.
‘It’s given me a second chance at life and finally I can look myself in the mirror and be proud of what I see. The Daniel Morcombe Foundation in my eyes is not a charity or foundation, it is a real life changing and giving organisation. I am living proof of that exact thing.’
During 2015-16, there were 225 487 Australian children suspected of being harmed or at risk of harm from abuse and/or neglect.
One in three girls and one in six boys will be sexually abused in some way before the age of 18 years.
In every classroom an average of five children have experienced some form of sexual abuse.
<13 Children are at risk of abuse at any age, nearly 90% of sexual abuse happens before 13 years of age.
The long term impacts of child sexual abuse can have devastating outcomes for individuals. Effecting mental and physical health, social, sexual and interpersonal functioning.

Walk Tall Counselling Service As part of our commitment to ensuring healthy outcomes for children and young people, the foundation funds the Walk Tall counselling service run by ACT for Kids. Located on the Sunshine Coast, the service provides counselling and support for children and young
people who have either experienced or are at risk of physical, emotional and/or sexual harm, from Gympie to Caboolture and in Ipswich. The registered psychologist also specialises in working with victims of, and those impacted by crime.

Notes Note 1 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies The financial statements are special purpose financial statements prepared in order to satisfy the financial reporting requirements of the Associations Incorporation Act 1981 {Queensland) and the Australian Charities and Not-for-Profits Commission Act 2012. The committee has determined that the association is not a reporting entity. The financial statements have been prepared on an accrual basis and are based on historical costs. They do not take into account changing money values or, except where stated specifically, current valuations of non-current assets. The following significant accounting policies, which are consistent with the previous period unless stated otherwise, have been adopted in the preparation of these financial statements. (a) Income Tax No provision for income tax has been raised as the association is exempt from income tax in accordance with Division 50 of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997. (b) Property, Plant and Equipment (PPE) Leasehold improvements and office equipment are carried at cost less, where applicable, any accumulated depreciation. The depreciable amount of all PPE is depreciated over the useful lives of the assets to the association commencing from the time the asset is held ready for use. Leasehold improvements are amortised over the shorter of either the unexpired period of the lease or the estimated useful lives of the improvements. (c) Impairment of Assets At the end of each reporting period, the committee reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible and intangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have been impaired. If such an indication exists, an impairment test is carried out on the asset by comparing the recoverable amount of the asset , being the higher of the asset’s fair value less costs of disposal and value in use, to the asset’s carrying amount. Any excess of the asset’s carrying amount over its recoverable amount is recognised in the income and expenditure statement. (d) Employee Provisions Provision is made for the association’s liability for employee benefits arising from services rendered by employees to the end of the reporting period. Employee provisions have been measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liability is settled. (e) Provisions Provisions are recognised when the association has a legal or constructive obligation, as a result of past events, for which it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will result and that outflow can be reliably measured. Provisions are measured at the best estimate of the amounts required to settle the obligation at the end of the reporting period. (f) Cash on Hand Cash on hand includes cash on hand, deposits held at call with banks, and other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less. (g) Accounts Receivable and Other Debtors Accounts receivable and other debtors include amounts due from members as well as amounts receivable from donors. Receivables expected to be collected within 12 months of the end of the reporting period are classified as current assets. All other receivables are classified as non-current assets. (h) Revenue and Other Income Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable after taking into account any trade discounts and volume rebates allowed. For this purpose, deferred consideration is not discounted to present values when recognising revenue. Interest revenue is recognised using the effective interest method, which for floating rate financial assets is the rate inherent in the instrument. Grant and donation income is recognised when the entity obtains control over the funds, which is generally at the time of receipt. If conditions are attached to the grant that must be satisfied before the association is eligible to receive the contribution, recognition of the grant as revenue will be deferred until those conditions are satisfied. All revenue is stated net of the amount of goods and services tax. (i) Leases Leases of PPE, where substantially all the risks and benefits incidental to the ownership of the asset (but not the legal ownership) are transferred to the association, are classified as finance leases. Finance leases are capitalised by recording an asset and a liability at the lower of the amounts equal to the fair value of the leased property or the present value of the minimum lease payments, including any guaranteed residual values. Lease payments are allocated between the reduction of the lease liability and the lease interest expense for that period. Leased assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the shorter of their estimated useful lives or the lease term. Lease payments for operating leases, where substantially all the risks and benefits remain with the lessor, are charged as expenses in the periods in which they are incurred. (j) Goods and Services Tax (GST) Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST, except where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the Australian Taxation Office (ATO). Receivables and payables are stated inclusive of the amount of GST receivable or payable. The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the ATO is included with other receivables or payables in the assets and liabilities statement. (k) Accounts payable and other payables Accounts payable and other payables represent the liability outstanding at the end of the reporting period for goods and services received by the association during the reporting period that remain unpaid. The balance is recognised as a current liability with the amounts normally paid within 30 days of recognition of the liability.

Emphasis of Matter- Basis of Accounting We draw attention to Note 1 to the financial report, which describes the basis of accounting . The financial report has been prepared to assist the association to meet the requirements of the Associations Incorporation Act 1981 (Queensland) and the Australian Charities and Not-for-profit Commission Act 2012 . As a result, the financial report may not be suitable for another purpose. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter. Responsibilities of the Committee for the Financial Report The committee is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial report in accordance with the financial reporting requirements of the Associations Incorporation Act 1981 (Queensland) and the Australian Charities and Not-for-profit Commission Act 2012 and for such internal control as the committee determines is necessary to enable the preparation and fair presentation of a financial report that is free from material misstatement , whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the financial report, the committee is responsible for assessing the association’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters relating to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the committee either intends to liquidate the association or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so. Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial report as a whole is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of this financial report. As part of an audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards , we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also: • Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations , or the override of internal control. • Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances , but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the association’s internal control. • Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the committee.
Independent Auditor’s Report to the Members of Daniel Morcombe Foundation Inc • Conclude on the appropriateness of the committee’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the association‘s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the financial report or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the association to cease to continue as a going concern. • Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial report, including the disclosures, and whether the financial report represents the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation. We communicate with the committee regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
