As the leader and peak body in child and family services in Victoria and Tasmania, the Centre for Excellence in Child and Family Welfare Tas/Vic (the Centre) proudly represents over 150 organisations, spanning the entire sector from early intervention to the critical provision of out-of-home care.
The Centre is the peak body for child and family services in Tasmania and Victoria. We advocate for the rights of children and young people to be safe, heard and connected to family, community and culture.
We provide a powerful voice for child and family services organisations and their workforce
We advocate on behalf of our members on the frontline of child and family services, representing member organisations at all levels of government. The Centre’s strong and established relationships with federal and state governments, departments, agencies and ministers provide us with a unique leverage to drive meaningful change for our sector.

Centre members have exclusive access to information, resources, networks, training, and funding opportunities to enhance capabilities, bolster existing work, and strengthen relationships across our sector. We facilitate monthly network forums covering areas including out-of-home care, foster care, kinship care, and leaving care.
