Operation Flinders Foundation

Just an amazing foundation! The world needs more programs like this delivering wilderness based experiences and opportunities to youth.

My grandson is doing his PGM with Operation Flinders and is loving all of the things he gets to do and it's expanding his horizons for the future

Great bunch of people. Excellent organization

Told my kid basicly that he was worthless and shouldn't speak to adults. He came back depressed and feeling like he shouldn't talk to anyoneNot happy I bet the councillors" don't even have their own childrenYou are ment to help kids not make them feel worthlessI'll be following your "organization" very carefully and checking one your track record to what has happened to the kids after your "camps" that you have supposedly "HELPED"And what sort of training and screening process your "councillors" have to go through before they are set lose on kids to mess with their heads"

I have just did the walk and camp, I had a grate time. And am now looking in to becoming a OHM

Great well run organisation delivery real outcomes for disadvantaged youth groups.

One of the most awesome NGOs to be involved in.

Great organisation that's really changing lives for the better

This is a special group of people willing to give their time to the difficult tasks of attending to some of the youths most vulnerable souls and help build them into survivors who manage in a team rather than street rats being dragged up by their environment

In about 1985 my son was put on Operation Flinders. There were some pretty tough older boys also in this activity. My son was a quiet, autistic 14 year old. The older boys stole cigarettes from the leader and about 4 older boys told the leader it was my son. My son was not believed by the leader. I got a call from the leaders telling me my son stole and he would be removed from the camp. After this camp was finished it was discovered that it was not my son who stole. Due to his autism this affected him very severely. Back in the 80s this was not a safe positive experience and instead it was a very negative for my son and affected him for a long time. Autistic kids, who can appear different and easily intimidated tend to be bullied.
