Nillumbik Family Services is a unit within the 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 make a substantial financial contribution to the maternal and
child health service and immunisation program; provide and maintain
facilities for preschools, child care cooperatives, occasional
child care, playgroups and toy libraries; and operate a family day
care program.
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.
