Welcome to the Pulse Survey for service providers – A new approach to children and family programs
We’re improving support and services for families, children, and young people.
We want your feedback on proposed changes. Feedback is invited from service providers, peak bodies, academics and industry experts.
The proposed reform is outlined in the Discussion Paper. [Link to Discussion paper]
We have heard your feedback on the Families and Children Activity programs
Feedback from providers has shown challenges and opportunities under the current arrangement.
The department has built the proposed reform using this feedback.
The main reform suggested in the Discussion Paper is to create one, new national program to support children and families.
The single national program will replace 5 existing programs:
- Children and Parenting Support (CaPS)
- Family Mental Health Supports and Services (FMHSS)
- Communities for Children – Facilitating Partners (CfC-FP)
- Family and Relationship Services (FaRS)
- Specialised Family Violence Services (SFVSS)
Respond to the survey
All responses to the survey are confidential. Individual responses will not be identified in analysis or reporting.
This is a short survey and should take less than 10 minutes to complete.
If you have any questions, please email [families@dss.gov.au].
