Fairfield Communities for Children Facilitating Partner

The Smith Family has been the Facilitating Partner for the Australian Government’s Fairfield Region Communities for Children Facilitating Partner (CfCFP) since 2005. We facilitate the delivery of a range of services designed to improve outcomes for children from 0 to 12 years old and their families within the local community. By taking a place-based and 'whole of community' approach, Fairfield CfCFP aims to help build a strong community that is inclusive and supportive of all families living in Fairfield Local Government Area.

The Fairfield CfCFP initiative operates within the suburbs of Carramar Fairfield, Fairfield East, Fairfield Heights, Fairfield West, Old Guildford, Smithfield, Villawood, Wetherill Park and Yennora.
