Welcome
Parents are doing one of the most vital jobs in the country – bringing up the next generation of Australians. If we can make a difference in the lives of Australian kids we can make a difference for Australia; that’s what Good Beginnings is all about.
Good Beginnings is a national charity that provides practical, community-based parenting programs and support to ensure children get the best start in life.
Through Good Beginnings’ 80 programs and 29 sites around Australia, our 100 staff and 600 trained volunteers support, educate and encourage parents to provide them with the knowledge, practical skills, community networks and confidence to raise their children well.
Our work is based on the simple fact that the nurturing and care children receive in their early years strongly influence their development into adulthood. The more we support and encourage children, the better equipped they will be to deal with life’s ups and downs, and the more likely they are to develop into well adjusted, healthy, productive, caring adults.
With unemployment set to rise dramatically in Australia and with parents facing increasing pressures, the work of an organisation like Good Beginnings becomes even more critical.
Strong, resilient, supported kids cope better when times are tough. Since 1997, Good Beginnings has helped 40,000 young children and their families through a range of free programs.
