Our FaCC services are part of a statewide network funded by the Queensland Government to work with and support families (with children up to 18 years of age) who are experiencing a range of challenges that are impacting the safety, health, wellbeing and/or connectedness of those children or young people.
FaCC practitioners can provide information and advice over the phone or, should circumstances dictate, engage in person with families or professionals to understand their needs and increase available options.
How we can help
Family and Child Connect can help with a range of family and parenting challenges. We’ll talk with you about your situation and work out the type of support you might find helpful.
We can connect you to local services that can help with:
managing your child or teenager’s behaviour (e.g. skipping school, school refusal, running away from home, homework, tantrums)
building better family relationships
stopping any violence at home
budgeting and managing money
alcohol, drug or gambling problems
housing, health care or access to other community or government services.
You can use this service as often as you need. There is no limit and no cost.
Every family is different so when you speak with us you will get advice and support specific to your situation.
