Families with Young Children Overview

This section of the website aims to pull together news and information for families with young children. For the purposes of this site we have defined young children as under 12 years old.

Having to relocate frequently can be stressful enough, without added pressures such as having to change schools across states and education systems. Visit Education.

Defence Families also face extended ‘absences from home’ due to deployments, training and work requirements. Visit Absent From Home.

For additional information on services for young children visit My Home for local contact numbers, support groups and entitlements in your area.
