Focus and Approach

Kempsey Families is committed to developing safe, supportive, and resilient families and communities, which enable individuals and families to flourish.

Kempsey Families delivers a range of services and programs that support the wellbeing and nurturing of children and families, especially the most vulnerable and disadvantaged.

We work with families, women, children, young people, and others at risk of, or who are experiencing domestic or family violence.

History

Kempsey Families Inc. was founded in 1993 in the Kempsey Shire LGA on the Mid North Coast, NSW.  We have grown from a team of three people with just one program, into a dynamic and innovative organisation providing a wide range of specialist domestic and family violence and family support services.

Kempsey Families has grown in the region due to:

  • an ongoing commitment to understanding the needs, service gaps, emerging trends and vulnerabilities of children, families, and the community
  • working collaboratively with individuals, families, and partner agencies

Kempsey Families continues building on their existing strengths in enhancing the safety, health and wellbeing of children, young people and families across the Mid North Coast, NSW.

  • Kempsey Families delivers high-quality, responsive family support and specialist domestic and family violence services.
  • We work in partnership with the community to enhance the safety, health and wellbeing of children, young people and their families.
  • We deliver services and programs across the continuum of interventions that are trauma- informed and strength-based, through promoting self-determination and empowerment.

"Our vision is for a safe, equitable and inclusive society where children,
families and communities are safe, healthy, resilient, and connected."
