The lead up to our 16th birthday has been filled
with events, challenges, achievements and
milestones, all shaping and paving the road for the
future. Countless people continue to contribute
to our growth and we are at an age where we
feel assured but never complacent or alone.
Our years of experience continue to influence
us without ever jeopardising our original vision.
At 16, we grow, adapt and evolve but remain
completely recognisable.
Substance abuse in our society is an ever changing
landscape and the consequences of parental drug
use on children have never been more complex
than they are today. The constant referral of new
children to Mirabel results in increased resources
needed. In a tough fundraising climate, the
generosity of new and long term supporters
ensured that there was never a question of turning
a child away.
It is unlikely that our work will ever be fulfilled but
it could not be more fulfilling. A tangible measure
is seeing 51 Mirabel young people turn 18 this
year, entering adulthood with a hope that was
absent in their early years. A different future lies
ahead compared to the one that they envisaged as
emotionally isolated, bereaved young children.
Another year can only be celebrated when shared.
To everyone who is part of Mirabel; from the
team, Board, committees, volunteers, donors and
supporters, to the carers and over a thousand
Mirabel children, it would not be a celebration if it
were not for you. We feel ‘sweet sixteen’ indeed.

foundation2014 annual report
EARLY INTERVENTION2006>>
At 3 years of age, Annie still drinks from a bottle and hasn’t learnt
how to eat a solid meal.
2014>>
At 11 years of age, Annie is the district age champion in swimming.
In 2013-14, the number of children receiving vital support from Mirabel grew by 23%.
We received on average referrals of more than 5 new children each week for crisis
support, referral and early intervention. This early intervention program aims to minimise
the negative effects of parental drug use on children and strengthen the capacity of
their carers to provide a permanent and nurturing environment for the children.
50% of all child deaths involve adult substance abuse
THERAPEUTIC GROUPS2007>>
Eliza is aggressive towards other children and has trouble making friends.
2014>> Eliza is encouraging, friendly and helpful to the other girls in the group.
In 2013-14, 131 children attended our weekly therapeutic girls and boys groups.
These groups provide a safe and supportive environment where children can begin to
make sense of their difficult past, learn appropriate ways to express their feelings and
develop important social skills.
87% of Australian children who witness bullying do nothing to help the victim
KINSHIP CARER SUPPORT GROUPS
2005>>
Leonie keeps to herself and doesn’t tell anyone why she is raising her grandchildren.
2014>> Leonie regularly enjoys weekends away with a group of grandparents that she met
at Mirabel’s Kinship Carer Support Groups.
In 2013-14, 170 kinship carers regularly attended our support groups in Melbourne, rural
Victoria and NSW. These groups provide important opportunities for grandparents and
relative carers to come together and give one another understanding and acceptance,
improving community networks and peer support for previously isolated carers.
60% of grandparents in Australia said their health had deteriorated as a result of parenting their grandchildren
YOUTH SUPPORT1998>>
David hoards food under his bed, has terrifying nightmares and is afraid to go outside.
2014>> David has completed a building apprenticeship and is now in full time employment.
In 2013-14, disadvantaged young people aged 13-18 years were provided with both
individual support as well as 17 tailored group activities. These young people have
frequently been raised in volatile and unstable environments where they are exposed
to drugs, unemployment, homelessness, violence and criminal activity.
Without intervention, they are at a high risk of repeating the
destructive path of their parents.
7 people in Australia die each day from suicide
SOCIAL AWARENESS2011>>
Mirabel established its first social media platform for young people.
2014>> Mirabel provides regular support to young people via Facebook and email.
In 2013-14, we launched our new responsive website so that tablet and smart phone
users can easily access information and resources about Mirabel. We share the stories
of Mirabel children and families through videos, Facebook and Twitter to increase
understanding and awareness of the many disadvantaged children and carers
affected by family substance abuse.
99% of 16 year olds in Australia use online social networking
EDUCATION2006>>
Riley is behind in all aspects of his schooling and struggles to participate in
educational activities.
2014>> At 15 years of age, Riley is now receiving positive school reports.
In 2013-14, Mirabel provided educational support in the form of tutoring, teacher’s
aides, homework groups, educational assessments, school advocacy and assistance
with school fees, uniforms and books. Improving the academic outcomes of
these children ultimately increases the options they have for their future.
50,000+ young people in Australia are long-term unemployed
80% of kinship carers are 55 years or older
MIRABEL HOUSE & RESPITE
2003>>
Jana is parenting her 4 young grandchildren who were recently orphaned due to
their mother’s drug use.
2014>> Jana is enjoying another short break away from caring for her grandchildren.
In 2013-14, we struggled to keep up with demand for respite for the growing number of
Mirabel families. Our respite program provides kinship carers with an essential break, helping to
alleviate the stress of caring for a young family, while their children create happy childhood
memories. In addition, 118 children and carers experienced a relaxing family holiday by the
beach at Mirabel House and 42 children and carers had a great day out at our Easter Eggstravaganza.
55% of children in out-of-home care in Australia live with extended family
FAMILY CAMPS & EVENTS
2013>>
Felicity does not think she can continue to provide the day to day care for her
5 grandchildren.
2014>> Felicity said, “You’ll never know what you have done for my family.
You’ve given me back my hope.”
In 2013-14, our family events included Family Fun Days, Carer Relax Days and Lord Somers
Family Camps. These events strengthen family bonds, giving them time
together and creating positive family memories.
MIRABEL’S PEOPLE1999>>
Janine provides essential respite for a family of 5 boys.
2014>> Janine leads Mirabel’s respite program and is thrilled to work alongside some special
volunteers who fondly remember their times with Janine at Mirabel House when
they themselves were a Mirabel child.
In 2013-14, we welcomed Colin Hay and Allison Langdon as Mirabel Ambassadors. Our
team of staff, volunteers and supporters work together to raise awareness and improve
outcomes for this vulnerable group of children and their kinship families.
250,000+ reports of child abuse will be made in Australia this year

VOLUNTEERS2007>>
Serge attended Mirabel’s volunteer training.
2014>> Serge donated 50 children’s birthday presents, helped out at 5 Mirabel camps and
donated some colour printing for Mirabel’s mail outs.
In 2013-14, Mirabel’s volunteers contributed with every aspect of what we do. From our
dedicated Board, committees, therapeutic group and homework club helpers, those
who wrap presents and to the volunteers who give up their precious sleep to be part
of our camps and respite program. Without their involvement we could not reach the
number of children that we do each year.
5.4 million Australian adults volunteer their time to benefit others

FINANCES2004>>
Mirabel’s income exceeded $1million for the first time.
2014>> Mirabel now needs $2.2million a year to maintain its current level of service provision.
In 2013-14, Mirabel worked to diversify its financial supporter base through the
development of corporate partnerships and new innovative fundraising campaigns.
Without the ongoing support and generosity of our donors and supporters, we would
not be able to continue providing care and assistance to the growing number of
children and carers affected by parental drug use.
$3 billion is spent on child protection in Australia each year
FINANCIAL SUPPORTMirabel’s ability to provide services to children relies on generous funding provided by
various donors, foundations, corporations and governments. In the financial year
2013-14, Mirabel’s income was derived
from the following sources:
Fundraising& Investments$606,854
Donations$294,563
Trusts & Foundations$940,812
State Government
(1.5%)
(11.1%)
(28.8%)
(44.6%)
(14.0%)$32,150 Commonwealth
Government$234,691
INCOMEMirabel’s income for the financial year 2013-14 totalled $2,109,070.
EXPENSESMirabel’s expenses for the financial year 2013-14 totalled $2,145,377.
RESULTMirabel’s operating deficit for the financial year 2013-14 was $36,307.
OUR FINANCESOne of the paradoxes we face is that tough economic
times increase the demand for our services, but the
financial support we need to fund them becomes
harder to find. 278 new children were referred
to us for crisis support during the year, yet it was
undoubtedly one of the most challenging years of
fundraising I’ve experienced.
I would like to commend the incredible efforts of
the Mirabel team, the Board of Management and
the generosity of all of our supporters through this
difficult year. The team proved their ability to provide
high quality support to a growing number of children
and carers in an incredibly efficient manner. Our full
year financial result, a small deficit of $36,307, was
actually better than the result we budgeted for.
This amazing performance allowed us to live by
our mandate of never turning a child away, allowed
us to keep our cash reserves intact and most
importantly, ensured we played our crucial role
in helping the lives of so many children now and
hopefully making them brighter for the future.
Mirabel continues to rapidly develop strategically
and is more cohesive and more efficient in service
delivery than ever before. With the continued
generosity of our supporters, the future of the
Mirabel children is in good hands.

INDEPENDENT AUDIT REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF THE MIRABEL FOUNDATION INC
Report on the Financial Report
We have audited the accompanying financial report, being a special purpose financial report of The Mirabel Foundation Inc. (“the Foundation”), which comprises the statement of financial position as at 30 June 2014, the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity and statement of cash flows for the year then ended, notes comprising a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information, and the Statement by the Members of the Committee of Management (“the Committee”).
The Committee’s Responsibility for the Financial Report
The Committee of the Foundation is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial report and has determined that the basis of preparation described in Note 1 to the financial report is appropriate to meet the requirements of the Associations Incorporation Reform Act 2012 and the ACNC Act 2012 and is appropriate to meet the needs of the members. The Committee’s responsibility also includes such internal control as the Committee determines is necessary to enable the preparation of a financial report that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditor’s Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial report based on our audit. We have conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. Those standards require that we comply with relevant ethical requirements relating to audit engagements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial report is free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial report. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial report that is appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by the Committee, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial report.
Our audit did not involve an analysis of the prudence of business decisions made by the Committee or management. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
Independence
In conducting our audit, we have complied with the independence requirements of Australian professional ethical pronouncements.
Opinion
In our opinion the financial report of The Mirabel Foundation Inc. is in accordance with the Associations Incorporation Reform Act 2012 and the ACNC Act 2012, including:
a) giving a true and fair view of the Foundation’s financial position as at 30 June 2014 and of its performance for the year ended on that date; and
b) complying with Australian Accounting Standards to the extent described in Note 1, the Associations Incorporation Reform Act 2012 and the ACNC Act 2012.
Basis of Accounting
Without modifying our opinion, we draw attention to Note 1 to the financial report, which describes the basis of accounting. The financial report has been prepared for the purpose of fulfilling the Committee’s financial reporting responsibilities under the Associations Incorporation Reform Act 2012 and the ACNC Act 2012. As a result, the financial report may not be suitable for another purpose.
