Community and Professional Partnership

Associations with community organisations firstly provide great opportunities for the enhancement of support of families in financial triage. The Smith Family carries educational programs and provides mentoring and resources for disadvantaged children to learn. Good Shepherd Australia New Zealand offers financial counselling and microfinance options. Foodbank Australia collaborates with schools and early learning services to distribute free meals and food hampers to needy families.

Local Neighborhood Houses provide cheap community programs, childcare, and adult education. Mission Australia offers housing assistance, family support, and employment services. Through collaboration with these agencies, educators may direct families into a full spectrum of support (Ending Homelessness  | Mission Australia, n.d.)
