Lutheran Care’s Family Zone is a child and parenting centre based at Ingle Farm Primary School. The centre brings together a range of support programs for families.
Programs are designed to facilitate the physical, emotional, social and cognitive development of children aged zero to 12 in a familiar environment. Parents also feel at home, as they meet with others who are going through similar experiences.

Our staff are there to help you complete the forms if you need. You can also choose to take the form home and bring it back the next week. All information you provide is confidential. We have strict procedures in place to ensure your privacy.
We know parenting is sometimes challenging. That is why we offer a range of parenting courses run by qualified facilitators to help support mums, dads and guardians through various stages in their children’s lives.
Family Zone Home Visiting provides support and encouragement for parents and carers who are having difficulties caring for their children or are feeling lonely and isolated.
If you are struggling with money, worried about debt or lacking confidence in financial decision-making, a financial counsellor can support you with a range of services, ultimately helping you to take back control of your personal finances.
Often males find it difficult to reach out and find support when it comes to parenting. That is why we provide a safe place where dads can be supported and join our many programs run by men for men.
