The Glenorchy Child and Family Learning Centre (CFLC) has officially opened, providing a safe, supportive, and welcoming space for children and their families.
The Glenorchy CFLC provides services and support for both expectant parents and families with children aged birth to five years, living in suburbs between Rosetta and Moonah.
Minister for Education, Jo Palmer, said families can access quality education, health support and outreach services.
"CFLCs offer local families with young children a place to belong and build strong community connections," Minister Palmer said.
"Like all our CFLCs, the Glenorchy centre has been community-led from the very beginning, with a Local Enabling Group of service providers, parents and community members involved in its development and design.
"We're already seeing the positive impact it's having on the local community, with over 40 families visiting each day since it opened its doors last month.
"Glenorchy is the last of the six centres to be delivered across the State as part of our $28 million commitment, bringing the total number of CFLCs in Tasmania to 18."
Liberal Member for Clark, Simon Behrakis, said the local community are excited about having a place to connect and access a range of services.
"The CFLC's wraparound services and support that are offered to local families include access to psychologists, speech pathologists and social workers, and will make a positive difference to our community," Mr Behrakis said.
"I'd like to thank the Local Enabling Group, along with design and building contractors for their input and work in establishing such a valuable and welcoming facility for young families in the Northern Suburbs."
Through our 2030 Strong Plan for Tasmania's Future, our Government is investing $32 million to deliver a further four new supersized CFLCs statewide.
