About us
Karitane have been leaders in parenting services since 1923. Our highly trained, professional multidisciplinary team offer evidenced based services and programs to support, inform and educate families throughout their parenting journey. We offer advice and support in sleep and settling, toddler behaviour, establishing routines, feeding and nutrition and perinatal mood disorders. We operate in NSW through a range of in-centre care facilities in Carramar, Camden, Liverpool and Randwick as well as providing community services across the state. Karitane continues to lead the development of the child and family health and the perinatal mental health workforce offering professional development to healthcare professionals including; nurses, psychologists, nannies, childcare workers and others across Australia. Our leadership in education also includes the delivery of parent-child interaction therapy training (PCIT), family partnership training, toddler workshops, and specialised, tailored workshops on sleep and settling, brain development and toddlers. We are a registered charity supported by the NSW Ministry of Health and the Department of Family & Community Services. In addition to our government funding, much of our work is undertaken thanks to donations from individuals and companies.

The Volunteer Family Connect program trains volunteers and matches them with families with children aged from birth to 5 years. Volunteers support families as they adjust to their parenting role. This could include: 💙 Assisting parents to further develop their skills and confidence 🧡 Helping parents establish routines that work for their family 💙 Helping parents become aware of services available to them 🧡 Helping parents identify needs or concerns 💙 Helping parents enjoy accessing the community, going to a library, the park, or even the shopping centre - things that can be overwhelming for some new parents 📍 The program currently runs in South West Sydney, Shellharbour, and Taree thanks to the generosity of our Funding Partners Barnardos Australia and Newcastle Permanent Charitable Foundation Find out more about the program and being a volunteer here 👉️ karitane.com.au/vfc #volunteer #volunteering #volunteeropportunities #families #parenting #parentinghelp
