The Intensive Family Support Service (IFSS) program is a state-wide intensive support service that works with Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal families whose children are at imminent risk of coming into the Corporate Executive Officer's (CEO) care, and families who are working towards reunification.
There are currently 17 IFSS locations around the State, covering the program’s two service streams:
- Supporting families to keep children safe at home
- Supporting families to get children back home safe (reunification)
The program service provider is an Aboriginal Community Controlled Organisation or partners with an Aboriginal Community Controlled Organisation to provide practical parenting education and skills development for parents and/or birth families, focusing on living skills, child mental health, education, safety and protective skills.
