Who are we?
Family Inclusion Strategies in the Hunter (FISH) is a parent-led organisation supporting families involved in the child protection system.
Our team includes trained peer workers who’ve been through it themselves — they offer understanding, guidance, and someone on your side.
We also run free workshops, help parents have a say in how the system works, and work with services to make things better for families.
