About us

Our team

Our Child Family Community Australia (CFCA) information exchange is a primary source of quality, evidence-based information, research and resources for the child, family and welfare sector. CFCA aims to provide a range of products and services that assist practitioners, policy makers and service providers to engage with the best available evidence. These include publications, webinars, fortnightly e-news and an enquiry helpdesk.

They have a strong focus on stakeholder engagement and the use of co-design methods. This key element of our work helps us to ensure that the resources we provide meet the needs of the child, family and community welfare sector.
