About the Child and Family Service Alliance

The 11 DFFH Family Service funded agencies in Ovens Murray work together with the Department of Families, Fairness and Housing (DFFH) (Child Protection and Agency Performance and Systems Support) and Family Safety Victoria (Ovens Murray The Orange Door).

Our Alliance members are here for children, young people and their families across the Ovens Murray area who would benefit from child and family support.

The OMCFS Alliance believes that families in Alpine, Benalla, Indigo, Mansfield, Towong, Wangaratta and Wodonga have a right to access appropriate and timely support and assistance, which is culturally responsive. We provide a platform of local services aiming to connect, enable, strengthen, safeguard and restore families.

The member agencies of the OMCFS Alliance share a commitment to forming strategic alliances with other agencies, alliances, networks, community groups and services to enhance the work of the OMCFS Alliance, and to use the material and human resources of the OMCFS Alliance Member agencies, in ways that support and enrich the lives of families in the Ovens Murray area.
