Community and Professional Partnerships

Strong community partnerships thus become meaningful in sustaining families in complex social situations. Family Relationship Centres hold opportunities for mediation and programmes on parenting that educators might suggest to separated parents. Barnardos Australia supports children in OOHC with case management, educational programmes, and mentoring. Royal Far West provides telehealth and outreach services for rural and remote families, responding to their developmental and health requirements.

CREATE Foundation aims at empowering children and young persons in care through advocacy and leadership programmes. Relationships Australia provides counselling and family support services across the country. Such working relationships allow educators to link families to specialist services without undermining the best interests of the child.
