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 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 workshops.
