About Family Preservation

Family Preservation is a voluntary program that strengthens the ability of parents to respond to their children’s needs and to create a safe and nurturing home.

We fund a range of Family Preservation services across NSW. These services aim to provide a range of supports to promote parenting skills, family functioning and child development. They also provide therapeutic supports to address the trauma often experienced by children and young people in contact with the child protection system.

We are recommissioning Family Preservation services through a partnership approach to improve service quality and consistency, and improve the wellbeing and safety outcomes of children, young people and families.
