Current work
We are focusing our efforts on three main areas to improve outcomes for families. This direction is determined by our knowledge of families as well as the main priorities of the Government. An annual research programme, funding research grants and consultation with families and stakeholders supports each of these main work areas.
The main work areas are:
Action on family violence
Projects aiming to make significant progress towards preventing family abuse and violence. More about Action on family violence
Even up
Projects ensuring parents and caregivers are well supported to make choices on balancing familiy responsibilities, paid work, study, community participation and other activities. More about Even up
Valuing parenting
Projects promoting parenting skills and knowledge so that parents/caregivers can access the support they need. More about Valuing parenting
