Excellence in Child and Family Services

We strengthen and guide the sector, building resilience, collaboration and shared success.

As the leader and peak body in child and family services in Victoria and Tasmania, we proudly represent over 150 organisations, spanning the entire sector from proactive prevention and early intervention to the critical provision of out-of-home care.

We support organisations and individuals dedicated to advancing child wellbeing, implementing early intervention strategies, and delivering quality out-of-home care services for children and families across Victoria and Tasmania.

Our role is to strengthen those who support others to succeed while setting the standards for professional education and practice in child and family services.

Every team member at the Centre is part of the leading force in Victoria and Tasmania’s child and family services sector. We engage in meaningful work that directly impacts communities across both states.

Diversity and inclusion

The Centre cultivates a diverse and inclusive workplace committed to our team member’s health, wellbeing and cultural safety.
