The Parenting Research Centre helps children thrive by driving new and better ways to support families in their parenting. The Centre helps governments and community agencies put the best scientific evidence on parenting support into action. Their main focus to date has been on organisations in the fields of health, education and welfare.

What They Do
Firstly, they make evidence more accessible and useful to organisations by synthesising, translating and exchanging knowledge. Then, in partnership with them, PRC designs parenting initiatives that are innovative and evidence-based, but which work in the real world. And thirdly, they conduct rigorous research that moves beyond the theory. This applied research helps organisations evaluate and improve the quality of the policies, programs and services they offer parents.
