Partner With Us

Over the last few years, the program has been delivered at several sites around Sydney, at schools and organisations such as Integricare, CatholicCare and Schools as Community Centres including:

• Dalwood Spilstead Service, Seaforth
• Punchbowl Public School, Punchbowl
• Integricare Early Learning Centre, Rockdale
• Belmore Boys High School, Belmore
• Wiley Park Public School, Wiley Park
• Lakemba Public School, Lakemba
• CatholicCare Naremburn Family Centre, Naremburn

These organisations partner with SIW by hosting our program, referring participants, managing bookings, coordinating childcare and providing course venues. 

The program is run during school terms over 5 consecutive weeks, in 2.5 hour sessions.

In recognition of the positive impact on the lives of participants, SIW courses have been running at some locations for several years, with many women securing employment, commencing training or volunteering as first steps in their return-to-work plan.

‘the outcomes have been consistently positive, with some 50% of participants engaged in either paid or voluntary work within 12 months of completing the program.’

Partner organisations often find that programs are run most successfully when offered alongside other opportunities for development of parents and families. Members of the SIW team would be delighted to discuss the practical aspects of hosting programs, as well as provide information to P&C meetings.
