About us
The early years of a child’s life set the foundation
for their future health, development and learning.
The Child and Family Centres are a ‘one-stop-shop’
supporting families during this important time.
The centres are staffed by professionals including
social workers and psychologists, and are designed to
provide a range of support programs to assist parents
and children.
The services and support provided through the centres focus
on children pre-birth to 8 years, however selected services
can be offered to children up to 12 years of age.
Drop-in parenting support
Parents are invited to visit their local Child
and Family Centre to chat with a trained
professional about parenting, ask
questions and to get information. This
can lead to ongoing, one-to-one support
with a child and family worker.

About us
Ongoing support
Child and family workers are available to provide ongoing
support for children and families. No two families are the
same so child and family workers will provide a tailored
service to your child and family.
Child and family workers work with families in many
different ways. For example, workers can:
■■ help coordinate services that might be involved with
your family
■■ help develop strategies to manage your
child’s behaviour
■■ assist with access to other services.
Child and family workers can meet with children and
families at the centre, at home, at school or another
convenient location.
This service is FREE of charge and available by
visiting or phoning your local centre.

About us
■■
Can I have my own worker who can help me for
a while with some parenting and family issues?
Yes. A child and family worker will meet with you to
discuss your situation. This may mean that a worker
could work with children and families on an individual
basis, it could be a referral to a parenting group, or
referral to another service that may be more appropriate.
All options are discussed with parents to ensure the
right response is provided. If parents feel they would
like ongoing support and assistance in their parenting
role, a worker may be provided to support them.
■■
Can any ACT resident use the Child and Family
Centres services or do you have to live in Gungahlin,
Tuggeranong or Belconnen?
The centres primarily support children and families who
live in the Tuggeranong, Gungahlin and Belconnen
communities. ACT parents outside these regions are
welcome to contact any Child and Family Centre.
