About us.
Our Vision
Family Resource Centres are prevention models of service delivery.
They offer a comprehensive range of programs aimed at enhancing child and family well-being by reducing family isolation, supporting healthy child development and providing information to support positive parenting.
They act as visible, inclusive and welcoming access points for ALL families in the community.
Our Guiding Principles
The following principles guide our centre and how it operates in our community:

2
We provide credible programs, resources, and services to help families be healthy, well and connected.

Our focus is on the early years, a critical period of brain development. As a child’s first and most important teacher, parents and caregivers are the best people to choose appropriate programs for theirfamily’s journey.

We lead with our ears. We respect and act on what families say, providing programs based on best practice and community data.

Children and caregivers are partners as they play and explore together, building brains and capacity one on one. Centres support children to learn and grow and caregivers to be the best they can be.
