Restore Intensive Family Services

Restore Intensive Family Services support families to address child safety concerns, and to ensure children and their caregivers are connected and strong. 

Our focus is working in partnership with families, through the multi-disciplinary support approach to strengthen parenting capacity, build healthy parent-child relationships and to improve family safety and wellbeing.

About our service

We are a voluntary service, where we deliver trauma-informed, culturally responsive, and child focused interventions to families with children. We support families with an intensive six month, in-home and community-based support to address child safety concerns, and to ensure children and families are strong and connected. 

Our team provides collaborative case management using a multi-disciplinary support approach. We hear the lived experience of families and involve them in all aspects of planning and goal setting. We privilege the voice of Aboriginal families and work to empower self-determination and promote the importance of culture. 

We are funded by Department for Human Services.
