About

Nillumbik Family & Children's Services is a team within Nillumbik Shire Council. We create and run programs for children and families in Nillumbik. We work with children and family service providers, community members, health agencies and government departments.

In our role in providing services for children and their families we provide and maintain facilities for maternal and child health, preschools, child care cooperatives, occasional child care, playgroups and toy libraries; operate a family day care service; operate the maternal and child health service; maintain and resource this website specifically for families and children in Nillumbik; provide a range of family support programs; and oversee Nillumbik Best Start in conjunction with the Best Start Partnership.

We also plan and advocate for children and families in Nillumbik. The Nillumbik Municipal Early Years Plan (2009-2013) provides a structure for us to work together with the community and service providers to identify and meet the needs of children from birth to eight and their families.
