Family Support Services
Family Support Service Greater Darwin is a partnership between CAAPS and Anglicare NT.
The Family Support Service provides support and assistance to families to keep their children safe, reunify children in care with their birth family and support pregnant mothers to grow up healthy and safe children. Families are supported to build relationships, strengthen parenting skills, maintain a safe home environment for their children and increase their participation within community.
The Darwin Family Support Service is jointly delivered by CAAPS and Anglicare NT.
The service is based at the Anglicare NT Ludmilla site and delivered by staff from both
organisations.
The family support services prioritise a strengths-based, practical approach that extends into both in-home and community-based support. With a commitment to a place-based and culturally connected framework, these services strive to maintain and strengthen connections to the community’s land, culture, and kinship networks. This central ethos informs every aspect of service delivery and is intricately woven into the planning processes, ensuring that families receive support that is not only practical but also deeply rooted in their cultural and community context.
