Consultation open on Families and Children Activity programs
Consultation extended for Families and Children Activity programs.
The Department of Social Services conducted a review of 3 children, youth and parenting programs delivered under the Families and Children (FaC) Activity to determine their effectiveness. Consultation on our findings has been extended until 10 February 2025.
To support the consultation, a Discussion Paper was published on 19 November 2024 to generate feedback and ideas which may inform the way the Australian Government makes future decisions about family and children supports.
The Discussion Paper is seeking your views on how to further strengthen the 3 children, youth and parenting programs:
- Children and Parenting Support (CaPS)
- Communities for Children Facilitating Partners (CfC FP)
- Family Mental Health Support Services (FMHSS).
The Discussion Paper explores these programs’ intersection with key government actions and priorities. Consultation closes on 10 February 2025.
