Family Connect and Support (FCS) is a service that can help you and your family connect to the right services and supports at the right time. FCS is available across NSW.

FCS can connect you to local services that can help with:

  • Understanding and managing your child’s behaviour.

  • Budgeting and money matters.

  • Alcohol, drug or gambling problems.

  • Access to housing, health care or other community and government services.

  • Building strong family relationships.
