Child and Parenting Support Service

0436 924 518

Our programs provide support to children aged 0-12 years and their families. They may include children up to 18 as necessary.

The programs offer support through evidence-based parenting programs, where attachment and relationships are the focus.

We also offer short-term case management for families and carers in relation to early intervention and prevention.

Our aim is to support families, strengthen relationships, and improve the wellbeing of children and young people.

The Child and Parenting Support service and Child Wellbeing Program offer:

Case Management We provide personalised parenting support based on the specific needs of parents and carers. Case management can happen at home, in the community, or through evidence-based parenting programs.
Parenting Programs We offer group and one-on-one parenting programs that are evidence-based. Qualified staff lead these sessions using trauma-informed practices in a safe, judgement-free space. Our programs include Circle of Security, Bringing Up Great Kids, Shark Cage, and Tree of Life.
Supported Playgroups Our playgroups help families connect with others, build support, and encourage positive interactions. They include fun, age-appropriate activities and teach parents and carers helpful tips for raising children. Playgroups are free and, and offer resources to support children’s growth. Morning tea is also provided. Qualified early childhood educators run the sessions and understand children’s development.
Child Wellbeing Programs Our programs help children heal from trauma, grief, and loss while improving their behavior, health, and emotional growth. Qualified facilitators create a safe and supportive environment for small groups. Evidence shows children in these programs make developmental progress and feel better overall. Our school-based programs include Drumbeat, Seasons for Growth, and Tree of Life.
