Parent Pathways is a voluntary service that provides personalised and financial support to eligible parents and carers of children up to the age of 6 years.
Parent Pathways by Sureway is a voluntary and flexible support service designed to meet the unique needs of parents and carers. Tailored to fit into your busy family life, Parent Pathways connects you with a dedicated mentor to help you build a plan that works for you. Together, you’ll explore a range of local services, activities, and training options that can empower you and benefit your family.
From childcare support, financial assistance for training costs, building skills for your family’s future to language and literacy programs, Parent Pathways offers a comprehensive set of resources. If you need to adjust your plan, that’s okay too. Whether you meet with your mentor in person, online, or over the phone, our service is family-friendly—your children are always welcome to join you.
