Communities For Children – Townsville West

Raising children isn't always as easy as it could be. The Early Years Information Service can help you with advice and answers to those day-to-day questions that pop up.

Drop in anytime and the friendly staff will be able to provide the advice and assistance you need. Mothers, fathers, grandparents, and carers are all welcome to access this free service.

What's on Offer

• FREE information, support, and referral services for anyone who cares for children – mothers, fathers, or grandparents.
• Access to information about early years and parenting services available in Townsville.
• Parks, playgroups, child care centres – we know where they are and can help you locate the best for your child.
• Hints and tips on feeding, sleeping, behaviour, and activities – if we don't know, we will find the answer.
