1 Introduction

The Child and Family Information Directory came about in response to requests from local service providers and families looking for children’s services. To meet this need, the Marrickville/ Leichhardt/ Glebe Child and Family Interagency undertook the compilation of this directory in conjunction with Marrickville Library and History Services. This collaborative partnership would like to acknowledge the support of Families NSW and Marrickville Council for the publication of this directory.

The Child and Family Directory focuses on the Marrickville and Leichhardt local government areas and the suburb of Glebe.

The directory does not list ALL the services available and is intended for use as a guide to services available in the local area. Listings for where you can go to seek further information are included on the pages that follow.

Most services are free. Where a fee for service applies, this will be stated on individual entries. Every attempt was made to ensure service information was correct and up to date at the time of publication. It is recommended that phone or email contact be made with individual services listed in case there are any changes to the information provided in this booklet. 06 IMPORTANT INFORMATION GETTING STARTED 07
