Summary
Southern Canberra is a large area encompassing the communities of Molonglo, South Canberra, Woden, Weston Creek and Tuggeranong. All communities except Tuggeranong have a lower percentage of children developmentally vulnerable on one or more domain(s) than the ACT average.
As a result, a working group named the Southside Initiative was formed by a number of interested and motivated key stakeholders. This story outlines the initiative’s activities such as:
- Parent education and support
- Parent and carer course directory
- Capacity building for teachers and early childhood educators.
