Our Services

Linking Families community programs are available in Bankstown, Fairfield, Liverpool, and Camden and include case management and supported playgroups.

Parenting Information

We provide early support and useful information in a way that works best for you—in person (home visits), by phone, or virtually. We’re here to help with parenting topics like child development, behaviour, nutrition, housing, financial literacy and family wellbeing.

Supported Playgroups

Our weekly playgroups in Bankstown, Fairfield, Miller, and Gregory Hills are friendly spaces for you and your child (birth to age 5) can play, learn, sing, and connect with other families. We’re here to help reduce isolation, build support, and boost your confidence as a parent. We offer seven groups, including ones specifically for multicultural communities, Aboriginal, Torres Strait Islander, and Vietnamese families.

Parenting Webinars

We offer our popular parenting webinars online regularly. Webinars are FREE to join, just choose a topic important to you and join other parents as our expert child and family health nurse provides tips and strategies.
