Aboriginal Child and Family Centres
The early years in a child’s life are important and can set them up for a healthy and happy adulthood. Parents, family and community all play a key role in creating a supportive and nurturing environment for early childhood development.
There are nine Aboriginal Child and Family Centres (ACFCs) in NSW, with plans to open an additional six centres across the state . The centres provide culturally safe services and support for families with Aboriginal children aged up to 8 years.
ACFCs bring together a range of services, including early childhood education, family support, maternal and child health, playgroups and adult education opportunities.
