Coming together to provide a better future for all!
Communities for Children
CatholicCare Wilcannia-Forbes facilitates the program within the Local Government areas of Dubbo, Narromine and Wellington and works with communities to strengthen their capacity to support their families and children.
Children and their families will have access to appropriate and targeted services and agencies that meet their needs sensitively, flexibly and holistically.
For Providers
We partner with organizations to develop programs to strengthen and enhance parenting abilities and engage social networks enabling stronger communities.
Funded by the Australian Government, Communities for Children aims to improve outcomes for children
aged 0 to 12 years.
Community consultations were conducted within the Dubbo Site in 2022. These shaped the Communities for Children Community Strategic Plan
