Our Purpose

Our purpose is making our vision a reality, by empowering people to thrive in the most vital part of their lives – their relationships.

We are committed to leading the way in providing responsive, cutting edge, transformative relationship services with and for our diverse communities, at every stage of life. This is our promise to everyone we work with.

Interrelate provides a range of quality services, relevant to community needs, that aim to empower people to live and relate more effectively. We are committed to responding to the vulnerabilities of families and children in their communities and to building stronger relationships. Our work is underpinned by the principles of:

strengthening family relationships
fostering more resilience within families and communities
working in the best interests of children to create supportive family environments
respect, equality, compassion and empowerment for all regardless of gender, sexuality, culture or age
reconciliation with Australia’s first peoples

Our Values

Our values that guide all that we do at Interrelate are:

Respect: Foster an environment of respect and a strength-based culture in all contact with clients and each other.

Equity: Provide people with equitable access to services and information, acknowledging the diversity, needs, rights and worth of all people.

Leadership: Be recognised as a leader in providing quality relationship services in a way that maximises outcomes for a diverse range of target groups.

Accountability: Commit to sound ethical principles and standards of practise and operate within an outcome-based framework that recognises shared responsibility and accountability.

Transparency: Serve the needs of staff and clients in a fair, ethical and impartial manner, and provide consistent and transparent practises and procedures.

Empowerment: Offer services that focus on empowering people to build capability and resilience.

Our History

From post-war education on how to foster healthy parent-child relationships for young children and their fathers returning from war to carving pathways for respectful separation in the 70's after the 'no-fault' divorce was enacted our history is rich with the changing landscape of how to best support healthy and respectful relationships.

Responding to the changing needs of Australia's families and our personal relationships we have evolved to provide our communities with the education, support and guidance to have the thriving relationships we all deserve.

Take a trip back in time to see how our relationships and sexuality education and services have evolved from our humble beginnings as the Father and Son Welfare Movement of Australia in 1926.
