About the Northcote Early Parenting Centre

  • 10 overnight family units 
  • consulting rooms 
  • shared kitchen and dining areas 
  • multi-purpose room 
  • playroom and various outdoor spaces

How can I access an Early Parenting Centre (EPC)?

Services are provided at no cost to families and caregivers who are assessed as needing some extra support to reach their parenting goals.

Families and caregivers can choose to attend any centre within the EPC network.

Referrals to EPCs are usually from maternal and child health services, maternity services, general practitioners, Child FIRST and Child Protection.
