Last week's childcare incident has shaken us all. At Relationship Matters, we are shocked by the magnitude of its impact — on children, parents, extended families, the early childhood workforce, and the broader community.

As an organisation that has been working alongside children and families for more than 78 years, we understand how deeply distressing this is — and we are here for you.
Our counselling programs, Employee Assistance Programs (EAP), debriefing services, and family support services are here to help navigate the emotional toll of this moment.

Feel free to reach out to us if you or someone you know needs support.

At Relationship Matters, we are committed to supporting respectful relationships and inclusive communities. NAIDOC Week is a time for us to listen, reflect, and walk in solidarity with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.

We encourage everyone to take time this week to engage with stories, events, and conversations that celebrate First Nations cultures and help shape a more just future for all.
