Kids Under Cover is a Victorian based charity that provides at-risk young people with alternative accommodation. Some of these young people are victims of abuse or are forced to live in over-crowed housing. Others struggle to live with parents suffering from mental illness or drug dependency.

While living in a Kids Under Cover home, the young people are encouraged to attend school or participate in a recognised job-training program. The Kids Under Cover Scholarship Scheme provides the opportunity and the financial means for residents to complete further education such as VCE, TAFE or tertiary qualifications.

Through responsive action with a focus on prevention, Kids Under Cover is able to deliver a service which provides disenfranchised children and young people with the opportunity to experience family life, pursue educational aspirations and maintain a real sense of family.
