We know frontline workers achieve incredible outcomes with limited resources. Our role is to strengthen and empower the sector to grow, connect, and lead with evidence and impact.
We build capacity, advocate for better funding, and drive continuous improvement through:
- Workforce Development – Training, tools, and resources to strengthen sector skills and evidence-based practice. DEX Sector Support Clinics are free, one-hour sessions to improve data entry, reporting, and understanding of DEX.
- Building skills and knowledge in evidence-based practice – Through initiatives like Smalltalk Big Yarns, we equip practitioners with proven strategies to support families and enhance child development.
- Fostering a culture of continuous quality improvement – We offer tools, templates, and training to help services strengthen their practice and improve outcomes. Projects like Amplify Our Sector uncover the stories within DEX data, helping services demonstrate their impact and advocate for funding.
- Facilitating collaboration and connection across the sector – Our Supported Playgroup Network and Family Preservation Network bring our sector together to share insights, promote values, and drive joint advocacy.
Fams is here to back you, your team, and the children and families you support.
