Executive Summary/ Key Findings:
The results showed that Tasmania's Child and Family Centres had a positive impact on parents' use and experiences of services and supports for young children.
Parents provided evidence that Centres were successfully engaging, supporting and working with families to give their children the best start in life.
Parents experienced Centres as welcoming, respectful and inclusive places that were helping them develop positive child, family, school and community connections.
