I found this while looking in Google for Child & Family support services which accounts for why a number of parents in need of help ring and then receive a visit from the Dept of child safety under notification details...it's disguised under 'Counselling for parents/children' and stated as Dept of Families and communities when this information actually goes to Dept of Child Safety whose only goal is Children's safety from risk of harm from family members especially parents and not to help and support parents...very sly, manipulative and disgusting but typical of a government dept don't you think?!

So parents DO NOT RING THE 1800 177 135 number for help with parenting your children as this will lead you into having the Dept of Child Safety involved who will not support you but belittle what you are doing, turn you offside while your emotional and use normal emotional reactions to abuse as means to remove your children painting you to a magistrate as aggressive. Please beware and be aware of this...

If you have to ring anyone for support, pick a trusted friend who will listen and give you fellow feeling of support and understanding or parentline on 1300 3 1300 just don't give out your last name to be on the safe side... Parents do need support, there's just not much in the way of hands on support around for parents.
