About us
Our vision is to see all Australian families thrive, not just survive.
Thriving families are moving towards what they want: they try new things, plan for the future, connect family members to new opportunities, and offer positive feedback and mutual support.
Our model
Family by Family is a home grown model, co-designed with families for families. It leverages the lived experiences of families and couples this with proven social theory and evidence based practice, to create confidence, self-agency and resilience for all families engaged. Families attest to the program’s ability to shift the negative effects of intergenerational disadvantage.
The model can be adapted to ensure cultural competency, safety and respect for Aboriginal and culturally and linguistically diverse families.
Our coaches
The Family Coach is there as the custodian of the professional knowledge embodied in Family by Family. They remain in the background, and keep both Seeking and Sharing Families strongly focused on the change they’re aiming to create.

This report looks at some of the early stages of creating Family by Family. After co-designing solutions with families, we developed a scalable prototype to enable families to thrive.
This report shares our learning on how Family by Family can work best for Aboriginal Families and support the changes they want to make.
This is the first external evaluation of Family by Family and shares the key insights and learning from the program – detailing that within its short timeframe of implementation it is demonstrating change for families across the continuum of family support.
Implementing Family By Family
The Family by Family program is designed to be delivered through a network of providers so that more families across Australia and around the world can gain the skills and confidence to change their lives.
