Media are invited to attend the launch of UnitingCare Tasmania’s NEWPIN Family Futures program
at the Clarence Uniting Church, Cambridge Road, Bellerive in Hobart TODAY at 2.00pm.
The program, to be launched by Secretary to Cabinet, Cassy O’Connor, provides intensive, long-term
support, working with families for up to 18 months.
Based on the successful 1980s UK model, NEWPIN (New Parent Infant Network) aims to break
intergenerational cycles of abuse and neglect and to build positive parent child relationships.
UnitingCare Tasmania CEO Lindy O’Neill said if done successfully in Tasmania, the model could be
used to support families in rural and remote communities across Australia.
