“By investing in Karitane, we’re improving the ability to deliver high quality care and support for children and their families in the critical early years.”
“Karitane is deeply appreciative of the support provided by the NSW Government and our partners at the Paul Ramsay Foundation that will enable us to provide this one stop shop for families in Fairfield.
“The Hub will provide families with access to a wide range of early parenting supports from pregnancy through to school all in one place. By bringing together services from health, early education and social care, as well as providing parents with the opportunity to build social connections, we will support families to identify emerging issues before they become entrenched and help children to thrive.
“Sometimes the challenges experienced by children and families are complex and require an integrated response to meet their needs. Having to travel to multiple locations to access multiple services or navigate complex systems prevents families from getting the right care, at the right time. The Fairfield Hub will ensure services that are more comprehensive, accessible, and responsive to families’ needs in an inviting, safe and welcoming space that has been co-designed by our local community.”
Quotes attributable to Professor Kristy Muir, CEO, PRF:
“The Fairfield Integrated Child and Family Hub is a cornerstone support service designed to ensure that the children and families of the Fairfield area have what they need to thrive. “PRF is proud to support Karitane in developing this vital service for families so that it can provide integrated services that support child development.”
“This unique facility will make it easier for families in the Fairfield area to access expert parenting guidance, education and support when and where they need it.
“The integrated care hub’s face-to-face and virtual services will complement existing local health district child and family health services and support some of the most vulnerable communities in NSW.
“This investment reflects the Minns Labor Government’s commitment to ensuring every child in NSW receives the best possible start in life.”
