ParentsNext program announcement
After successful pilots, the Government is rolling out ParentsNext nationally. Since launching in April last year, ParentsNext has made a real difference in the lives of young parents and their families; giving them the support and help they need to get ready to work. When mums and dads take time out from work to raise small children it can be difficult to find a way back into the workforce when their children start school.

Financial counselling service funding
Farmers in need of financial counselling across the Electorate of Parkes are set to benefit, with a $560,000 funding injection to support people across the central and northern NSW regions.
The funding is part of a more than $1.6 million boost across seven Rural Financial Counselling Service (RFCS) providers to support farmers in hardship.
This service will help support farmers who leave the Farm Household Allowance (FHA) program. FHA is a successful program that has helped 7,360 farmers since July 2014. RFCS can provide valuable assistance for farmers who leave FHA and want to continue to improve their circumstances.
Visit agriculture.gov.au/rfcs or call 1800 686 175.
