Better Place Australia is there to support Victorian parents and children during times of struggle. It’s there when people are feeling alone, exposed, vulnerable, wondering how to navigate their way through their life’s problems.
We put children first. We know that when the unique needs, concerns and preferences of a child are considered outcomes are more sustainable, better respected and much more satisfying for all.
That’s why we created Better Place for Kids.
We know that by working alongside people, we can help build resilience and resolve difficult situations. Our purpose is to help people through some of the difficult times of their lives and help them to move on, with better skills to deal with any future challenges, strengthened by positive changes.
Whether you are looking to develop skills to help you fine tune your parenting skills, strengthen your relationships and build strong bonds, our programs here at Better Place Australia can help.
Our services are effective, confidential and affordable.
Life changes. Relationships change.
That’s why we’re here.
