Welcome to ParentsNext
We look forward to supporting you to be job ready when your child is school ready.
ParentsNext is a supportive, voluntary program with many benefits. Together, we’ll develop a plan that takes into account your individual goals, builds your confidence, focuses on your needs and strengths and helps you plan for your future.
We offer tailored and flexible support that best meets your needs. We help you make connections with employers, support you financially with any training or education to help you land your dream role and, listen to any concerns you may have. You don’t have to look for work while you’re with ParentsNext, but if you are ready, we can help. We might even be able to help you with your Driver’s Licence, social connections or mental health support. Whatever your goals, we will help set you up to be in a much better position to act on opportunities when the time is right.
