Aboriginal Child and Family Centres

Aboriginal Child and Family Centres (ACFC's) offer culturally-safe services to families with Aboriginal children aged up to 8 years of age. The centres provide communities with access to early childhood education and care services, child and maternal health programs as well as family support, playgroups and adult education opportunities.

There are currently nine ACFC's operating across NSW. In March 2024, the NSW Government approved an expansion of the program to allow for six new ACFC's

The expansion program is funded under the Brighter Beginnings Initiative, which recognises the importance of culturally-centred health and education services to ensure Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children have the best start in life.
