About the Role

The Family Support Specialist will work with families in partnership to empower and build their agency to make effective change and overcome their identified family challenges.

  • Facilitate imbedding structured family routines that improve household management, healthy eating and quality family time.
  • Improving parental management of stress and personal wellbeing, including coordinating access to ATSICHS Mental Health Service (Social Health Team).
