Consultation open on Families and Children Activity programs
Consultation open on Families and Children Activity programs
The Department of Social Services (DSS) conducted a review of 3 children, youth and parenting programs delivered under the Families and Children (FaC) Activity to determine their effectiveness. Consultation on these findings is now open.
To support the consultation, a Discussion Paper has been developed to generate feedback and ideas which may inform the way the Australian Government makes future decisions about family and children supports.
The Discussion Paper is seeking views on how to further strengthen the 3 children, youth and parenting programs:
- Children and Parenting Support (CaPS)
- Communities for Children Facilitating Partners (CfC FP)
- Family Mental Health Support Services (FMHSS).
The Discussion Paper explores these programs’ intersection with key government actions and priorities. Consultation closes on 24 January 2025.
DSS is also holding in-person workshops in every Capital City to provide clarification on the Discussion Paper.

Have your say on the Community Strategic Plan 2022-2032
It is time to review the current Community Strategic Plan 2022-2032 to see what has changed and to ensure the plan still reflects the desires of the community.
What is the Community Strategic Plan (CSP)?
The CSP is written on behalf of the community to represent their main priorities and aspirations for the future and to plan strategies for achieving these goals. The CSP guides all remaining strategies and plans written by Council including the Delivery Program, Operational Plan & Resourcing Strategy.
Why Council is seeking your input
Community input is vital to understand whether your aspirations for the future have changed and identify where Council should focus efforts to make Wentworth Shire a great place to live, work & play.
