Family Life offers an extensive range of counselling, mediation, support and educational services for families. The focus is on developing people’s personal strengths and capabilities so they feel more self confident and are able to set and achieve realistic personal goals. We believe that all parents want to be good parents and with the right resources and support can grow their nurturing skills and care safely for their children.

Family Life’s services take a whole of family approach. This means, when a person comes to us for help, we offer to work with their whole family to promote effective and sustainable change. Counselling, mediation and in-home support services can assist with a range of issues, including:

relationship issues
separation
parenting
major life changes
communication with family members
family violence
loss and grief

While our services are available to everyone, our priority is to assist people who are ‘at risk’.
We also offer further assistance for families in both a community and individual setting, including:

advice and assistance for separated parents
help for those experiencing family violence
help for grandparents
a community initiative to encourage Creating Capable Communities
resources for further information
