The Family Action Centre
towards a truly civil society
The Family Action Centre has the vision of a truly civil society, and a belief that family wellbeing is the cornerstone of healthy communities. We're located at the University of Newcastle, NSW, though much of our work on research, policy and practice has national significance.
The FAC aims to strengthen families and communities by undertaking research, training and learning; developing and implementing strength-based programs; and creating models of practice that promote sustainability, social justice and community leadership.
We are self-funded, with assistance coming from the University of Newcastle, state and federal governments, private and philanthropic organisations, sales of our publications and resources, and the delivery of training and consultancies.

Following the exciting news that the Steve Waugh Foundation will fund SNUG for its first two rounds, the FAC seeks a Program Coordinator. The position is available on a fixed term part-time (21 hours/week) basis for six months with the possibility of an extension subject to funding.
The FAC's Fathers and Families program has a PhD scholarship available. The PhD position will form part of a new research team using a range of methodologies to investigate parent-child connection in settings ranging from families experiencing postnatal depression to commuting parents to parents negotiating parenting plans after separation.
