The Cradle to Kinder program is an intensive ante and postnatal support service to provide longer term, intensive family and early parenting support for a group of vulnerable young mothers and their children. The service commences in pregnancy and continues until the child reaches four years of age. The Cradle to Kinder program provides a whole-of-family service in the form of pre-birth support, intensive and longer term interventions and case work support until the child reaches four years of age. Cradle to Kinder builds the capacity of parents to not only provide for their children’s health, safety and development, but to build their own self-reliance and sustainability through access to education, vocational training and employment.
The Cradle to Kinder service is provided by funded agencies and the data is reported to the department via the Integrated Reports and Information System (IRIS).
