Mission Australia - Communities for Children Programme

About Mission Australia - Communities for Children Programme

Communities for Children is a federally funded program that takes a collaborative approach in seeking better outcomes for children aged 0-5 and their families. Mission Australia is community partner for Communities for Children in four municipalities in South East Tasmania - Central Highlands, Southern Midlands, Brighton and Derwent Valley. Activities include mobile play time, hub activities to support parents, a pre-literacy reading program and community fun days. One of the many aims of the program is to facilitate better connections and improved relationships between local service providers and parents, as well as to improve school readiness in 0-5 year olds.
