Families with young children (birth to 8 years) are welcome to call the Child and Family Centres (CFC) and talk with an experienced Child and Family Worker about supports available for your family. Parents and carers can access a range of parenting groups and supports which are offered face-to-face and are also available via telephone and on-line platforms.

Child and Family Centres services are available Monday to Friday 9am – 5pm. 

• Gungahlin Child and Family Centre: (02) 6207 0120
• Tuggeranong Child and Family Centre: (02) 6207 8228

There are many services available including:  Drop-In Parenting Support

Parents and carers 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 Child and Family Workers.

Staff are available to speak with parents and service providers, either in person or by phoning your local Centre — about a range of issues including:

• general parenting
• adjusting to being a parent
• family relationship issues
• your child’s behaviour.
