Interrelate’s children’s contact service (CCS) has been providing a welcoming environment for children to connect with separated family members since 2000. This expansion will provide a vital space in your region for families to strengthen their relationships and develop skills that will support healthy and respectful relationships in the long term.
“At Interrelate, our goal is to help families achieve sustained and workable long-term parenting and contact arrangements that prioritises children and creates improved wellbeing for the whole family.” – Says Graeme O’Connor, CEO of Interrelate
The expansion is the result of additional funding granted to help meet the demand for support for families to help them manage the sometimes complex situations that can arise from family separation.
As of January 2023, Interrelate will deliver 50% of CCS’s in New South Wales, and 13% across Australia. The new centres will open in Muswellbrook, South West Sydney, Hornsby, Griffith, and the Gold Coast. Backed by 96 years in family and relationship support service delivery, Interrelate are pleased to be extending that support to more communities in need and bringing more job opportunities that have a positive social impact.
“Our children’s contact service case management model is uniquely progressive in its approach with families. The model reflects the organisational commitment to providing services which are tailored to the family’s changing circumstances.” – Says Suella Wright, Head of Operations at Interrelate
“Clients are supported with resources, referrals, and assistance to help them achieve their goals in addition to access of Interrelate’s wraparound support services, which include counselling, mediation, and parenting support.” – Says Helen Cook, Children’s Contact Service Project Manager at Interrelate
Interrelate welcomes contact from interested community members and service providers, as they launch into your community.
