We provide a parenting programme, which helps keep families together by giving parents skills in safe, effective and nurturing parenting. It is a residential programme which runs 24/7, 365 days a year and typically families stay for two months, although there is no time limit. Very often we work with families where out of home placements are being considered for the children. Through a collaboration with Battered Women's Trust, we also offer a targeted intervention to support parents re-engaging with parenting and attachment through a residential or community-based programme. Research shows children are better off in the care of their parents; Home & Family is committed to keeping children in the care of their parents wherever possible.We also offer counselling for all ages, but specialise in work with children, offering play therapy for children as young as three. 57% of our referrals are for children and youth, with abuse and family violence being our most common referral reason. Most of our clients come from lower socio-economic backgrounds and would not be able to afford counselling elsewhere and our most frequent referral reason across all age groups is abuse and/or family violence.

Counselling for children - We offer Child Centered Play Therapy (CCPT) for children as young as three. It is our belief that it is not what children do, but why they do it that is crucial to understanding them, relating effectively with them and, where required, intervening successfully with them.

Parenting - The Home & Family parenting service supports parents to develop healthy, secure relationships with their children. Research confirms that children are better off in the care of their own family. Home & Family is committed to keeping children with their families, while providing parents with the tools to parent successfully.

Fees and Payment

Home & Family fees are $135 for a one-hour session. However, as we are a charitable trust, we aim to provide an affordable counselling service. We are able to subsidise 20 sessions for children and youth, and 15 for adults. The amount you will pay will be confirmed by the Bookings Manager at the time of booking your first session. We are also able to assist those who receive a disability allowance for counselling or who have been referred by Right Service Right Time. The subsidy we provide per session applies to clients whose household income is less than $80,000 (annual gross household income). This is also a registered charity.
