About RCNC

Bringing up children is a challenge for everyone. But raising them in a new country presents a unique set of problems and opportunities. Newcomers to Australia can experience confusion around local laws, conventions and social norms.

SSI’s Raising Children in a New Country program aims to provide parents with a better understanding of childcare at different stages of development, communication and discipline, the child protection system in Australia, and the education system. It is tailored for Tamil and Arabic-speaking parents.

No referral is required to access services. You can book the program by calling us on 02 8799 6700 or emailing us at info@ssi.org.au.

How we help

1. Group facilitators run sessions at a comfortable pace.
2. Participants are provided with information, involved in discussions, and allowed time for self-reflection.
3. A positive approach to learning aims to make parents more confident about raising their children in a new country.
