Coonamble, 2829

ParentsNext is for parents who have a child aged 9months to 6 years of age, have not had paid work in the last 6 months, and have been getting the Parenting Payment for the 2 - 4 Years. ParentsNext helps parents of young children to prepare to return to work or training once their youngest child goes to school. We help parents to set their education- and employment-related goals, and develop a pathway to achieving their goals while also helping them link with services and activities in their local community.
