Raymond Terrace & Karuah Communities for Children Facilitating Partner

The Smith Family has been the Facilitating Partner for the Australian Government’s Raymond Terrace and Karuah Region Communities for Children Facilitating Partner (CfC FP) since 2004. 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, Raymond Terrace and Karuah CfC FP aims to help build a strong community that is inclusive and supportive of all families living in Raymond Terrace and Karuah Local Government Area.

The Raymond Terrace and Karuah Region CfC initiative operates within the Port Stephens Local Government Area near the Newcastle and Hunter Valley regions of New South Wales.

The Community Strategic Plan for Raymond Terrace and Karuah CfC FP provides the roadmap for the development and implementation of the initiative for the period 2022-2026.

Strategic priorities:

• Growing and Thriving - relates to children being safe at home and in the community; age appropriate child development, access to quality early learning, positive school transition and engagement; and child and youth participation.
• Strong - refers to supporting child and family physical and mental health; positive and respectful relationships; connection to culture and parent education and skill building.
• Connected - refers to good access to services, opportunities, promotion of inclusion, diversity and belonging in community. Children and families are connected with each other, intergenerational connections; and child friendly communities
