Funded by the Department of Social Services (DSS), this program is to strengthen relationships, support families, improve children's wellbeing and increase the participation in community life to strengthen family and community functioning, and reduce the cost of family breakdown. The program will provide a range of services, focused on strengthening relationships and building parenting and financial management skills, providing support for better community connections as well as services to help newly arrived migrants in their transition to life in Australia.
Services provide support to children and families based on an early intervention and prevention approach. Services actively seek to identify issues that are or could impact on child or family outcomes and provide interventions or appropriate referral before these issues escalate. Services may include one-on-one parenting support, parenting courses, home visiting, peer support groups and children’s activities.
