Hobart Family Relationship Centre

The Centre opened its doors at 178 Macquarie St, Hobart in July 2006. We’re located in a building erected in 1895 that was built as a family home by a leading Hobart identity of that era. In our own way, we are now building a reputation as a ‘place to go for family support’ in Hobart and in southern Tasmania.

The principal forms of support we offer include:

the provision of quality up-to-date information about services available for families in southern Tasmania, as well as access to printed, DVD based and electronic information
rapid responses to requests for direct services from clients; we have a duty system whereby a Family Relationship Officer is available to see people ‘the same day’ where their issues are both complex and urgent
assisted referrals to other service providers
accessible services – we make use of telephone hook-ups and of video conferencing facilities to assist people unable to get to the Centre
individual consultations to assess the needs of clients
joint dispute resolution services
child consultations and feedback to parents
child minding – by appointment
community education, from locations where parents are most likely to gather – for example schools, child care centres
participation in community expos and forums
regular liaison with legal and other professional practitioners
production of a monthly newsletter

We aim to assist parents and other carers to become child focused when making plans for their families. We also aim for people who have contact with the Centre to have a positive experience and to receive support that is useful, useable and user friendly.
