Our Doveton programs
10 Ti Tree Drive is home to various parenting and family programs, including parenting skill development, family restoration and more.
Newpin (New Parent and Infant Network)
Newpin is an intensive, centre-based family restoration program designed to reunite children in out-of-home care with their parents by fostering a safe, supportive, and nurturing home environment.
The Newpin program uses a therapeutic approach to help you build positive, healthy relationships with your children. Newpin combines elements of formal and informal group work, peer support, and attachment-based relationship development. Delivered within a welcoming, home-like setting, Newpin provides parent education and emotional support aimed at long-term family restoration.
Newpin is available to those who reside in the City of Casey, City of Greater Dandenong and Shire of Cardinia.
Enhanced Therapeutic Contact Service (ETCS)
ETCS is a supervised contact program designed for children and young people who have been removed from their parents’ care due to concerns of abuse or neglect. The program provides a safe and stable environment where contact with parents and family members is facilitated as a therapeutic experience.
ETCS aims to support the emotional well-being of children while working toward family reunification where appropriate. Referrals are received from Child Protection agencies, and the service is delivered by a multi-disciplinary team comprising social workers, therapeutic support workers, and a team leader.
Key goals of the program include promoting your children’s safety and well-being, strengthening your family relationships, and supporting safe and gradual family.
