Our vision
We want to see children thrive, supported by parents developing skills they need now and in the future
The Parenting Research Centre aims to enhance the well-being of children and families in Australia by driving improved ways of supporting parenting through scientific evidence, evidence-informed approaches and strategic partnerships.
The landscape has changed significantly in the 20 years we’ve been in business. And the future is bright, as the idea of putting evidence to work really gains momentum.
Our mission
We support children and families by promoting effective parenting and caregiving
Twenty five years ago, working with families on parenting was a very different proposition to what it is today.
As the concept of evidence-based practice took hold, the landscape shifted, and in 1995, the Victorian Government funded us as the Victorian Parenting Centre to support the important work practitioners in the field were already doing.
In 2006 we changed our name to the Parenting Research Centre, becoming a national organisation, with influence across governments and community organisations in the fields of health, education and welfare.
Things have come a long way in our organisational lifetime
But what hasn’t changed is our strong and unwavering belief that when it comes to making a difference for children, parents are part of the solution, not part of the problem.
