The Family Co. Expands into Hurstville

Supporting More Families, Closer to Home

We’re excited to share some big news: The Family Co. has officially expanded into Hurstville!

Our new Hurstville Hub marks a significant milestone in our journey to reach and support more families across Southern Sydney. Located just outside Westfield, this new centre deepens our commitment to the Georges River and Bayside communities by making our vital programs and services even more accessible.

We’re officially opening our doors on Thursday 29th May, and we’d love for you to join us for a Community Open Day Morning Tea at 9.30am. All are welcome, come meet the team, learn more about what we offer, and help us celebrate this exciting new chapter.

At The Family Co., we believe every child, young person, woman, and family deserves to feel safe, connected, and supported. Our mission has always been to empower families to build safe homes, strong relationships, and thriving futures- and the launch of our Hurstville location allows us to continue that mission in a whole new community.

Our new hub will offer a range of programs, support groups, and outreach services, including early intervention, family support, women’s safety, youth services, and community education. We’re also expanding our domestic and family violence services in the area, ensuring that women and children experiencing violence have a safe and welcoming space to turn to.

The Hurstville site also opens the door to more community partnerships, outreach, and advocacy. We look forward to working alongside local organisations and service providers to offer wraparound support for those who need it most.

Whether you’re a parent needing support, a woman seeking safety, a young person wanting to connect, or a local resident simply curious to learn more - our friendly and dedicated team are here to help.

We know that strong families build strong communities. This new chapter in Hurstville is part of our continued investment in creating a safer, more connected future for all.

If you or someone you know needs support, you can reach out directly via (02) 9548 2734 or complete a confidential Self-Referral Form online.
