Independent Child & Family Services

Strongly Kinnected provides independent, child-focused family services designed to support safe, structured engagement and informed decision-making.

Our role is to provide neutral, proportionate services that sit alongside legal, statutory, and community systems. We do not determine outcomes, advocate for parties, or replace court or child protection processes.

We support families across Central Queensland through clearly defined services, including:

Supervised contact and changeover services
Family and parenting assessments
Foster and kinship carer assessments
Therapeutic parenting and family support programs

Whether referrals are received from courts, Child Safety, or private parties, services are delivered within a defined scope, with clarity about purpose, limits, and authority.

Our practice is grounded in trauma-informed and culturally safe approaches, with a strong focus on accountability, transparency, and child-focused practice.

To discuss whether our services are appropriate for your circumstances, please contact us to schedule an intake.
