Our Targeted / Early Intervention Support services work alongside families who are facing vulnerable situations but who don’t have active child protection involvement.

Whether a family is facing difficulties with their housing situation, financial management, domestic and family violence or just need some help with strengthening parenting skills our Family Support Specialists are there to help.We work alongside caregivers to understand their goals, build on their strengths and create safer, more nurturing environments for children.
