What we hope to achieve
Good Beginnings believes that a caring environment where families, communities, service agencies and governments work together will better enable all children to benefit from a good beginning.
We work with communities, service agencies and governments to provide proven services to families including those who are:
- Isolated through economic, geographic, cultural circumstances or incarceration
- Suffering from post-natal depression
- Experiencing difficulties which may disadvantage their children
- Seeking to improve and build on their parenting skills

We bring a strong framework of proven practice-management and skilled caring people to:
- Develop and recommend models which enable easy access to local resources for parents and their children and help them to make decisions which result in families being strong and healthy
- Develop and recommend models that allow communities to reinforce the efforts of families to raise responsible, productive, confident, joyous children and where neighbours watch out for each other regardless of racial, ethnic, religious, cultural or socio-economic differences
- Facilitate the development of strong linkages between institutions that serve children and their families to ensure that all levels of government and community-based organisations make children, youth and their families a priority
- Develop a network of Good Beginnings Programs and leverage to effective knowledge and expertise to more communities.
We encourage an ongoing commitment, by the community, for the community.
