Permanency Support Program (PSP)

---

Our Family Preservation program helps families experiencing challenges to stay together safely. Through early intervention and in-home support, we equip parents and caregivers with the skills and resources they need.

Services include:

• Intensive in-home parenting education and behaviour coaching.
• Counselling and emotional support.
• Assistance with housing, employment, and financial stress.
• Crisis response and safety planning.
• Connection to community supports and allied health professionals.

Our goal is to keep families together, reduce risk, and promote wellbeing for both children and caregivers.

When children are temporarily placed in care, we assist parents in taking the necessary steps to safely bring them back home.

Supports include:

• Family mediation and relationship rebuilding.
• Supervised contact visits and observational reports.
• Goal-based parenting education and progress assessments.
• Reunification plans developed in collaboration with caseworkers and support professionals.

We advocate for family unity while prioritising the child’s safety and emotional wellbeing throughout the process.

We value the critical role of carers who open their homes to children in need. Our support services ensure they feel informed, supported, and confident.

We offer:

• Recruitment, screening, and training of new foster and kinship carers.
• Ongoing workshops, peer networking, and professional development.
• 24/7 crisis support and access to trauma-informed resources.
• Assistance in navigating the child protection system and case management process.

We build strong partnerships with carers, helping them create secure, loving homes for children in care.

Our experienced case managers are central to ensuring each child’s needs are met with compassion, professionalism, and cultural sensitivity.

Our case management includes:

• Developing personalised care and permanency plans.
• Coordinating services across health, education, legal, and housing sectors.
• Regular monitoring of child wellbeing and safety indicators.
• Advocacy for culturally appropriate placements and holistic support.

We are committed to helping children achieve permanency through family preservation, restoration, or stable out-of-home care arrangements.
