Communities for Children aims to deliver positive and sustainable outcomes for at risk children and families in disadvantaged areas throughout Australia.

Mallee Family Care’s Community Development Unit manages Communities for Children in Swan Hill and Robinvale. Communities for Children is funded by the Department of Families, Housing, Community Services and Indigenous Affairs.

Mallee Family Care’s role is to develop and facilitate a whole of community approach, building on community strengths and the existing infrastructure of organizations, networks and resources. It is about building on what is already working and succeeding in a community as well as new programs.

Although Communities for Children is a national framework, it allows for a tailored approach at the local level and provides communities with the opportunity to develop flexible and innovative approaches that best reflect an individual community’s needs.
