Contact us

At St Agnes’ Catholic Parish, our family, children and youth pathways team provides short-term, strengths-based support for families experiencing challenges.

We walk alongside you to understand what’s happening, identify what’s getting in the way, and build on your family’s strengths. Together, we create practical, achievable goals that support positive outcomes for children, young people and their caregivers.

We acknowledge their deep connection to this land, its waters, skies, and stories, nurtured with wisdom, care, and resilience for countless generations. We pay our respects to Elders past, present, and emerging and extend this respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
