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.” -

Australia Day is a time to reflect on who we are as a community across Western Sydney and across Australia — diverse, connected and stronger together.
At Woodville Alliance, we recognise that this day holds different meanings for different people. What brings us together is our shared commitment to respect, inclusion and belonging.
Western Sydney reflects the richness of Australia itself — many cultures, languages and life experiences living side by side. Today, we celebrate what unites us: care for one another, compassion, and the belief that everyone deserves to feel seen, safe and valued.
We reaffirm our commitment to building fairer, more inclusive communities across Western Sydney, where diversity is respected and connection is at the heart of everything we do.

Not-for-profits make local communities stronger.
Whether it’s disability support, early learning or community services — not-for-profits exist to put people and community first, not profit.
In diverse places like Western Sydney, this makes a real difference:
✨ Services are designed around real needs
✨ Money stays in the community
✨ Trust, fairness and cultural understanding come first
✨ Long-term wellbeing is prioritised over short-term gains
Want to know what to look for when choosing a not-for-profit, or how you can support local impact? We’ve got you covered in our new blog.
