NEWPIN offers parents and children a unique opportunity for positive changes in their lives and relationships, based on four core values of support, equality, empathy and respect.

NEWPIN is a preventative, early intervention program, offering intensive work with families facing potential or actual child-protection issues. The award-winning program combines peer support, quality early education and personal development that is structured and therapeutic. NEWPIN centres are based in local communities and offer safe and supportive environments.

This website provides information for professionals, NEWPIN service users (known as Members) and others who have an interest in breaking the cycle of destructive family relationships.

There are five centres in Australia: Bidwill, Doonside, Bidwill Fathers Program, (operated by UnitingCare Burnside). Geelong (operated by Bethany Community Support) and Launceston (operated by Northern NEWPIN)

New centres are currently being developed through UnitingCare Burnside’s national licensing and support program.
