Welcome!

International Social Service (ISS) Australia provides social work services to families, children and single adults across international borders. Our intercountry services include family tracing and reunification, international family mediation, kinship care and other child welfare matters, and support for families experiencing international parental child abduction.
ISS Australia is the independent Australian arm of the global International Social Service network, spanning over 140 countries worldwide. We receive government funding for some services, but rely on fees, individual and organisational donors, membership fees and other income to continue providing a full range of services.
