We understand families, and the challenges that come with raising a family. We have many programs to support families to be the best they can be, at any stage in their life. We know that family is important, and we are here to support you. Visit us today to learn more about how we can help your family.
The Family Rural Resilience Program (FRRP) is a free and flexible early intervention, wellbeing program that works with children aged 0-18,
and their families.
FRRP programs are designed to build skills in wellbeing and family resilience. We aim to support families to increase wellbeing, safety,
connectedness and overall functioning. We provide short and long term case management as well as a range of courses to help you achieve
this.
The Rural Parenting Resilience Program (RPRP) is a free and flexible parenting support program.
RPRP supports parents and carers with children aged between 0-12 years. The aim of the RPRP program is to support parents/carers to increase
the connection with their children by providing access to peer support groups, supported playgroups and parenting skills development
throughout the year. Other activities that may be run under the RPRP program include school readiness programs, case management and
advocacy, supported playgroups, and community events and celebrations.
Centacare NENW’s Family Relationship Centre is a gateway to the broader law and family support service system.
We provide families with support around their relationships and parenting through appropriate information and referral; provide separating
families help to achieve workable parenting arrangements (Parenting Plans), outside the court system, through information and referral,
support and family dispute resolution services; and deliver high quality, safe and ethical services.
The Family Relationship Centre also provides Property and Financial dispute resolution services, assisting post separated families to
negotiate the equitable distribution of their property and financial assets, and the creation of a Property and Financial Agreement.
Regional Family Dispute Resolution (RFDR) services are designed to meet the particular needs of regional communities, providing a range of
services to help separating families resolve disputes and reach agreement on parenting arrangements and property.
These services provide dispute resolution for both post separation Parenting Plans and Property and Financial matters, as well as education,
information and counselling.
Our Family Services program offers conflict resolutions services to cover workplace, community, and family mediation situations that may not
fall within funded service streams. These are organised on a fee-for-service arrangement, in negotiation with parties.
We also offer family mediations for situations that fall outside our funding streams. Examples of these mediations include mediating child
protection arrangements, assisting a family of adults who were able to agree on particular family issues and mediating families who have
long-held and consistent disputes (unrelated to children or a separation) to move forward.
The Post Separation Cooperative Parenting (PSCP) program assists separated parents, often in high conflict, with interventions to establish new cooperative parenting arrangements. All services are child-focused, intensive and holistic. Parenting programs such as Building Connections, Keeping Kids in Mind, My Kids and Me and Caring Dads are run under this stream. One-on-one individual support is also available under this stream where a specialist works with clients on positive parenting practices.
The “Disrupting Family Violence” program, offered through Centacare’s Specialised Family Violence Services offers a holistic family oriented
approach to support those who use violence, and those affected by and who have witnessed domestic and family violence in their families,
with an overarching goal of increasing the safety of women and children.
The Disrupting Family Violence program has two main components:
Provides one-off financial & material assistance to address immediate basic needs in times of crisis. Emergency relief can act as a
safety net for people experiencing financial distress or hardship and who have limited means or resources to help them alleviate their
crisis.
Types of assistance offered by ER providers may include food, clothing, vouchers, budgeting assistance and referrals to other services.
Services only available in the Walgett, Lightning Ridge and Moree LGAs.
Family Counselling aims to assist individuals experiencing difficulties within their relationships.
Family counselling can help people to better manage personal or interpersonal issues connected to their children & family during marriage, separation or divorce. The aim of this service is to help strengthen relationships to prevent any further breakdowns. The
wellbeing and safety of children is a priority. Family Counselling is a short-term, early intervention service.

The Community Visitor Scheme provides volunteers for 1 hour per fortnight to visit with residents of aged care facilities. These residents
would otherwise be isolated, as many are far from their family.
Imagine being able to make someone’s day just by visiting them for an hour or two each fortnight. Making a difference in someone’s life is
one of the most rewarding things that you can do. And what better way to do that than by volunteering with the Community Visitors Scheme?
This program offers friendship and companionship to people who may be facing loneliness or isolation. It’s a great opportunity for you to
give back to your community and make a real difference in someone’s life. Plus, you get to meet new people and have some fun too!
