Family Relationship Centres
Our Family Relationship Centres support families at all stages of their relationships, whether it’s to begin new relationships, strengthen relationships, or when separating.
Focused on helping separating parents to reach parenting agreements without going to court, we reduce parental acrimony and conflict, and assist parents to focus on their children.
We also connect people to the right services, support or personal education and skills training about any issue affecting their relationships. This includes mental health problems, gambling, family and domestic violence, relationship problems, and parenting or grand-parenting issues.
Whatever the issue or difficulty, you can call to talk to one of our Family Advisors or drop in to see us.

Family dispute resolution
If you are separated or in the process of separating, our family dispute resolution service can help you and your former partner come to an agreement on parenting issues. Family dispute resolution is now compulsory for separating parents before commencing legal proceedings about the care of their children, although there are some exceptions particularly where safety is an issue. Before proceeding to family dispute resolution, we will meet with you individually to discuss your situation.
Child Focused Information Sessions
Parents using our family dispute resolution service will also need to attend a Child Focused Information Session (each parent to attend a separate group session).
iKiDs - Supporting Children Post Separation
We support children from separated families on issues big and small. iKiDs (I Know I Do) can provide counselling, group therapy and education programs.
