The Parenting Research Centre helps children thrive by driving new and better ways to support families in their parenting. We help governments and community organisations in the fields of health, education and welfare put the best evidence on parenting support into action. We help them find practical solutions by: • Making evidence more accessible and useful through synthesising, translating and exchanging knowledge • Offering ways to design and implement parenting supports that are innovative, effective and evidence-based • Conducting rigorous applied research that helps them evaluate and improve policies, programs and services. With our valued partners, we also run major programs such as the Australian parenting website raisingchildren.net.au and MyTime (www.mytime.net.au) for parents of children with disabilities. We are the only Australian parenting research organisation that can offer a complete end-to-end service to help design, adapt, implement and evaluate parenting support policies and programs that are based on evidence. At the same time, we can customise any one aspect of our work to suit client needs.
