Community Support For Every Stage of Life
We believe that no two individuals or families are alike, which is why we provide a variety of community support programs designed with your needs in mind. Explore our free parenting courses and family consultation services.
FREE Parenting Courses
We run evidence-based parenting support programs with well-qualified and experienced facilitators such as Circle of Security, 123 Magic, Tuning in to Kids, Tuning in to Teens and Bringing up Great Kids. These free courses provide user-friendly, practical tips for parents based on best practices and research of what works.
We can also provide child care so that you can attend comfortably, and we even offer interpreters if required.
Free Meetings With A Family Worker
We can meet up with you on a ‘one-off’ or a regular basis. We will listen to your concerns. We may help you set some goals based on what you and your family most require and help you create plans to reach these goals.
We often find it helps to work with whole families, including children. We can also refer you to a more specialised service if needed.

Our Community Stories
Brendon shares how Homework Club, Kids Club and holiday activities have helped his daughter over the past three years. He talks about growing confidence, friendships and staying on top of schoolwork.
“We have a great relationship with the Woodville Alliance staff here, and we feel very warm and welcome.”
Read more experiences from community members and our CaFS team in the carousel below.
"Your Woodville program has consistently been the most effective and practical wellbeing program we’ve had. The knowledge and skills you deliver really fit the needs of our students. Even the casual teacher told me personally that she felt your program was the most valuable. I hardly ever get this kind of universal positive feedback from almost all teachers regarding an external provider." -
E.Zhao (EAL/D Teacher, Holroyd High School)
"It's a very heartwarming experience to see children grow up in front of us, and I think these families consider us like part of their families." -
Preeti (CaFS Team Member)
"Regular 'Linker' meetings with local services have helped close gaps so families do not fall through" -
Woodville Alliance team
"Woodville Alliance have been an important link for our client and his mum… Without their assistance, we wouldn't have been able to advocate for the appropriate support." -
Support Coordinator
“The program has helped me better understand healthy and unhealthy relationships.” -

Big news for families at Woodville Alliance Early Learning & Care.
From Monday 6 July, we’re extending our operating hours to better support busy families and changing routines. Our new hours will be 7:00am – 6:30pm.
We’re also pleased to share that, in response to family feedback, our end-of-year shutdown period will now be reduced to just two weeks over Christmas and New Year — meaning we’ll operate for 50 weeks of the year.
These updates are part of our ongoing commitment to providing flexible, supportive and family-focused early learning and care for our community.
Limited spots available — enrolments are now open.

Last night, members of the Woodville Alliance team were privileged to attend the ZEST Awards at Accor Stadium, joining community leaders, organisations and changemakers from across Western Sydney in celebrating the people who make our communities stronger every day.
The ZEST Awards recognise the often unseen but incredibly important contributions of individuals, volunteers, community groups and organisations working to create positive change across our region.
It was an inspiring evening filled with stories of compassion, resilience, leadership and community spirit. We were reminded of the extraordinary impact that can be achieved when people come together with a shared commitment to supporting others.
Congratulations to all finalists, nominees and award recipients. Thank you to the Western Sydney Community Forum for hosting such a meaningful event and for shining a light on the unsung heroes who make Western Sydney a more connected, inclusive and vibrant place.

Preparing for employment is about more than finding a job — it’s about building confidence, developing practical skills and learning how to succeed in the workplace.
Our new Life Essentials: School Leaver Employment Supports (SLES) module helps participants develop workplace readiness through hands-on, interactive activities covering:
✅ Workplace communication
✅ Teamwork and following instructions
✅ Workplace safety
✅ Time management
✅ Money and budgeting skills
✅ Job searching and interview preparation
Over 12 weeks, participants build the skills, confidence and independence needed to take the next step towards employment and community participation.
📍 This module is available through our Social and Community Participation Day Program at our Bonnyrigg Hub.
If you're looking for a supportive environment where you can build skills, make connections and work towards your employment goals, we'd love to hear from you.

The NDIS is changing — and for many participants and families, that can feel confusing, overwhelming and sometimes worrying.
With new planning arrangements, funding rules and review processes being introduced across 2026, many people are asking the same questions:
❓ What do these changes mean for me?
❓ Will my current supports change?
❓ How can I prepare for my next plan review?
At Woodville Alliance, we believe people deserve clear information and practical support, not jargon and uncertainty.
Our latest blog explains the key changes in plain language and provides practical tips to help participants, families and carers prepare with confidence.
📖 Read the blog here:

Whatever changes lie ahead, our team is here to help you understand your options, advocate for your needs and navigate the NDIS with confidence.
