Targeted Early Intervention (formerly Families NSW) provides a mix of activities for families with children aged 0-8 including parenting education, supported playgroups and intensive family support.

There is a high need for these services for families who experience crisis or are struggling with their roles as parents and need extra support.

The Department of Communities and Justice funds the Families NSW program to deliver parenting education, supported playgroups, case management, peer support groups, community capacity building, school readiness programs, home visits, advocacy and support. This service covers a vast area including Lake Cargelligo, Forbes, Narromine, Bourke, Broken Hill, Peak Hill, Parkes, Wilcannia, Menindee and Enngonia.
