About the Role
Sustaining NSW Families is a structured program of nurse-led, sustained home visiting for children and families. It is an evidence-based intervention for families living in areas of socioeconomic disadvantage that have been identified as vulnerable. The Sustaining NSW Families program seeks to engage parents initially in a relationship with their unborn child. The program then continues to support the transition to parenting in the early newborn period through to toddlerhood. The staff employ a strength-based partnership approach to develop a therapeutic relationship with the family. The Social Worker role has a key role and is introduced to every family participating in the program. Social workers are expected to have significant experience working with children and families to enable them to work autonomously.
