Intensive Family Support Service (IFSS)

NTP delivers the Intensive Family Support Service (IFSS) program in the Goldfields. This state-wide service supports Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal families who are experiencing disadvantage, complex challenges, and trauma, including intergenerational trauma.

The program provides intensive in-home support, helping families build parenting and living skills to improve wellbeing and safety.

Referrals may include:

• Where child safety concerns exist, working to keep children safely at home.

• Where children are in care, supporting safe reunification with their families.

IFSS services are delivered by an Aboriginal Community Controlled Organisation (ACCO), or in partnership with an ACCO. Supports include practical parenting education and skill development for parents and pre-birth families, focusing on daily living, child mental health, education, safety, and protective skills.
