About Us
Family Connect and Support (FCS), assists children and young people who do not meet the statutory threshold for child protection intervention but would benefit from accessing support to address current problems and prevent future escalations. The new Family Connect and Support streamlines access for families, referrers, and service providers, providing consistency across the state, while maintaining local-level flexibility.
OUR STAFF
When you phone or come into a Family Connect and Support office, you will speak to a responsive, professionally trained FCS Worker who will connect you with the right service and support you with issues affecting your family. They will take time to listen and assist you in identifying your needs. Family Connect and Support welcomes families from all cultures and backgrounds, lands, and communities.
WHAT WILL IT COST?
The service is free. FCS is funded by the NSW Government, as a part of the Keep Them Safe action plan to improve the safety and well-being of children in NSW. Pathfinders FCS operates Monday to Friday during business hours.
