Operational Framework for Family Relationship Centres

Family Relationship Centres were established as a result of the 2006 changes to Australia’s family law system to provide tailored, professional support for families.

Family Relationship Centres are a highly visible entry point or gateway to the whole family support service system. They play an important role in improving family relationships by providing information, support and referral services to all families, as well as family dispute resolution and access to some legal assistance for separating or separated families. Family Relationship Centres also assist separating parents to focus on their children’s needs and to reach agreements on safe, workable parenting arrangements that are in the best interests of their children, outside of the court system.

You can access a copy of the Operational Framework for Family Relationship Centres from the Attorney-General’s Department website.
