Australian Nurse Family Partnership Program

Welcome to the Australian Nurse-Family Partnership Program in Wellington and Dubbo area.

The Australian Nurse-Family Partnership Program (ANFPP) is a part of the Australian Government’s commitment to improve the health of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.

The ANFPP supports women pregnant with an Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander child to improve their own health and the health of their baby. The ANFPP will also help with the baby’s development in their early years.

Under the ANFPP, trained nurses and Aboriginal Family Partnership Workers visit families in their own homes to help them grow a stronger family.

The ANFPP delivers assistance for mothers and fathers to help them become the best parents they can be.

You can contact WACHS ANFPP Team on 02 68452565.

The ANFPP is being set up by health services in seven sites across Australia. The ANFPP is currently at four sites. These are: 

Victorian Aboriginal Health Service - Melbourne 
Wuchopperen Health Service - Cairns 
Central Australian Aboriginal Congress - Alice Springs
Wellington Aboriginal Corporation Health Service - Wellington

On this website, you will find all the information you need about the ANFPP, the services available, and how you can be involved in the program.

The Australian Nurse-Family Partnership Program model is based on the Nurse-Family Partnership model developed by Professor David Olds in the USA over the last 30 years.
